The second-order (v ₂) and third-order (v ₃) Fourier coefficients describing the azimuthal anisotropy of prompt and nonprompt (from b-hadron decays) J/ψ, as well as prompt ψ(2S) mesons are measured in lead-lead collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sNN = 5.02 TeV. The analysis uses a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.61 nb⁻¹ recorded with the CMS detector. The J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons are reconstructed using their dimuon decay channel. The v ₂ and v ₃ coefficients are extracted using the scalar product method and studied as functions of meson transverse momentum and collision centrality. The measured v ₂ values for prompt J/ψ mesons are found to be larger than those for nonprompt J/ψ mesons. The prompt J/ψ v ₂ values at high p _T are found to be underpredicted by a model incorporating only parton energy loss effects in a quark-gluon plasma medium. Prompt and nonprompt J/ψ meson v ₃ and prompt ψ(2S) v ₂ and v ₃ values are also reported for the first time, providing new information about heavy quark interactions in the hot and dense medium created in heavy ion collisions.
