Post-disruption spin angular momentum, L, for an initially nonrotating star of mass 1 M (left) and 0.5 M (right), due to a BH of mass 10 M (top) and 40 M (bottom) and as a function of impact parameter b and MS age (Hc abundance). The dashed lines indicate the (approximate) estimated break-up angular momenta of the remnants L⋄, break, respectively. The spin angular momenta are largely independent of BH mass. It decreases almost exponentially for sufficiently high b values, and it drops for very low b values when the remnant mass is small (best-fit lines and standard error regions shown). The drop-off of angular momentum occurs at larger b for a less evolved star.
