Evolution of the specific angular momentum (total angular momentum per mass) of the dust parcels for each of the models. The dashed line highlights the time of 120 kyr that was featured in Fig. 2. Angular momentum is strictly conserved for the first few 10 s of kyr until the dust has fallen into a higher-density region of the cloud, where interactions between the gas and dust begin to efficiently drain angular momentum. When the dust reaches the disk, it enters a region with much higher angular momentum and is quickly spun up by the gas.
