Specific angular momentum distribution of the mass shells of the primary star in the example binary shown in Figure 1, at core carbon depletion in red. The kink at ≃7.8 M⊙ is the transition between the carbon-oxygen core and helium shell. It forms an accretion disk of 1.46 M⊙ during the collapse. For comparison, we plot the specific angular momentum of the ISCO, jISCO, for a non-rotating Schwarzshild BH (dashed black) and a maximally rotating Kerr BH (dotted black), as a function of BH mass. Additionally, we track the evolution of jISCO for the example primary during the collapse as its mass and spin change (dashed green). It tracks jISCO at the collapse of each mass shell and starts at 3 M⊙ with a BH of 2.5 M⊙ and 0.5 M⊙ neutrino mass loss.
