Variations of the primary BH mass with respect to their host (stellar) galaxy mass at three different redshifts. In each panel, the color code indicates the value of the corresponding angle between the BH spin and the angular momentum of the stellar component computed within one effective radius. The most massive BHs (> 105 M⊙) tend to have a spin well aligned to Jstar at all redshifts.
