The nuclear modification factor R[subscript AA] and the azimuthal anisotropy coefficient v[subscript 2] of prompt and nonprompt (i.e. those from decays of b hadrons) J/ψ mesons, measured from PbPb and pp collisions at √s[subscript NN] = 2.76TeV at the LHC, are reported. The results are presented in several event centrality intervals and several kinematic regions, for transverse momenta p[subscript T]> 6.5 GeV/c and rapidity | y| < 2.4 , extending down to p[subscript T] = 3 GeV/c in the 1.6 < | y| < 2.4 range. The v[subscript 2] of prompt J/ ψ is found to be nonzero, but with no strong dependence on centrality, rapidity, or pTover the full kinematic range studied. The measured v[subscript 2] of nonprompt J/ψ is consistent with zero. The R[subscript AA] of prompt J/ψ exhibits a suppression that increases from peripheral to central collisions but does not vary strongly as a function of either y or pTin the fiducial range. The nonprompt J/ψ R[subscript AA] shows a suppression which becomes stronger as rapidity or p[subscript T] increases. The v[subscript 2] and R[subscript AA] of open and hidden charm, and of open charm and beauty, are compared.
