We study the melting temperature of heavy mesons in the hot medium of light quarks. By solving the covariant Schr\"odinger equations at finite temperature for mesons D, ϕ and J/ψ, we obtained the temperature dependence of their masses, binding energies and averaged sizes and found the flavor dependence of the melting temperature: TD≃Tϕ<TJ/ψ. The sequential melting temperature can explain the difference in meson elliptic flow observed in heavy ion collisions.
