BLACK HOLE SPIN. “Spin is one of only three fundamental properties of black holes (BHs), but there are few reliable predictions of natal BH spins. The BH spin is determined by the angular momentum (AM) content of the core of the star that collapses into the BH. Yet our ability to predict internal stellar rotation rates and AM content has been limited by sparse observational constraints and the complex magnetohydrodynamics of differentially rotating stars.” (BH = black hole; AM = angular momentum).
