The elliptic azimuthal anisotropy coefficient (v[subscript 2]) is measured for charm (D[superscript 0]) and strange (K[superscript 0][subscript S], Λ, Ξ[superscript -], and Ω[superscript -]) hadrons, using a data sample of p+Pb collisions collected by the CMS experiment, at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of √s[subscript NN] =8.16 TeV. A significant positive v[subscript 2] signal from long-range azimuthal correlations is observed for all particle species in high-multiplicity p+Pb collisions. The measurement represents the first observation of possible long-range collectivity for open heavy flavor hadrons in small systems. The results suggest that charm quarks have a smaller v[subscript 2] than the lighter quarks, probably reflecting a weaker collective behavior. This effect is not seen in the larger PbPb collision system at √s[subscript NN] = 5.02 TeV, also presented.
