Abstract: The transverse momentum dependence of the azimuthal anisotropy parameter ${v}_{2}$, the second harmonic of the azimuthal distribution, for electrons at midrapidity ($|\ensuremath{\eta}|<0.35$) has been measured with the PHENIX detector in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{{s}_{\mathit{NN}}}=200$ GeV. The measurement was made with respect to the reaction plane defined at high rapidities ($|\ensuremath{\eta}|=3.1\text{\ensuremath{-}}3.9$). From the result we have measured the ${v}_{2}$ of electrons from heavy flavor decay after subtraction of the ${v}_{2}$ of electrons from other sources such as photon conversions and Dalitz decay from light neutral mesons. We observe a nonzero single electron ${v}_{2}$ with a 90% confidence level in the intermediate-${p}_{T}$ region. The precision of the present data set does not permit us to conclude definitively that heavy quarks exhibit thermalization with the transverse flow of the bulk matter.
