Heavy Flavor Measurements at STAR

We present a selection of recent heavy flavor results from the STAR experiment. Measurements of D-0 and D* meson production in root S=200 and 500 GeV p+p, as well as root S-NN=200 GeV d+Au, Au+Au and 193 GeV U+U collisions are presented and implications on the production mechanism are discussed. We report on the production and elliptic flow of electrons from semi-leptonic decays of heavy flavor hadrons in root S-NN=39, 62.4 and 200 GeV Au+Au collisions. Nuclear modification of J/psi production in root S-NN=39, 62.4 and 200 GeV Au+Au, and 193 GeV U+U, and of gamma in 200 GeV d+Au, Au+Au, and 193 GeV U+U collisions are compared to theoretical models. Finally we discuss the prospects of heavy flavor measurements with the recent detector upgrades.
