    We present the measurement of elliptic flow (v2v_{2}) as a function of transverse momentum (pTp_{T}) for the Ο•\phi-meson in Au+Au collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 7.7, 11.5 and 39 GeV. At low pTp_{T} Ο•\phi-meson v2v_{2} decreases with decrease in beam energy. The number of constituent quark (ncqn_{\rm{cq}}) scaled v2v_{2} for Ο•\phi-meson vs (mTβˆ’m0m_{T} - m_{0})/ncqn_{\rm{cq}} follows similar trend as other hadrons for sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 39 GeV whereas the ncqn_{\rm{cq}} scaled v2v_{2} for Ο•\phi-mesons follows a different trend compared to the other hadrons at sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 11.5 GeV.Comment: Conference proceedings for Strangeness in Quark Matter 2011, Cracow, Poland, September 18-24, 201
