Figure 9: Mean angular momenta vs. mass for both merged stars just after the merger and at collapse. The thick solid line at the top of the graph is the angular momentum just after merger. Dotted lines correspond to different mappings of the 3-dimensional merger calculation into the 1-dimensional stellar evolution code. We also plotted the angular momentum for material at the innermost stable circular orbit for a non-rotating black hole vs. mass (thin solid line). Figure 5 of [104].
