were active. For the IBIS/ISGRI spectral extraction however,
we implemented the most recent module (prepared for the
OSA 5.0 delivery) which is based on the least squares fit
done on background and efficiency corrected data, using coded
source zones only. This option minimizes spurious features
in the extracted spectra, which appear in particular when the

sources are weak, partially coded and the background

corrected (A. Gros, private communication). For the PICsIT
spectral extraction, we took the flux and error values in the
mosaic image at the best-fit position found for the source. We
used the response matrices officially released with OSA 4.2,
rebinned to the 8 energy channels of the imaging output.
The SPI data were preprocessed with OSA 4.2 using the
standard energy calibration gain coefficients per orbit and excluding bad quality pointings which have anomalous exposure
and dead time values (or with a high final χ2 during imaging). The spiros 9.2 release (Skinner & Connell 2003) was
used to extract the spectra of Cygnus X-1, Cygnus X-3 and
EXO 2030+375, with a background model proportional to the
saturating event count rates in the Ge detectors. Concerning the
instrumental response, version 15 of the IRF (Image Response
Files) and version 2 of the RMF (Redistribution Matrix Files)
were used for epoch 1 and 2, e.g., prior to detector losses, while

velocity of the hydrogen envelope at t = 5 × 10 s.
The shock has decreased significantly in strength by
the time it reaches the base of the hydrogen envelope;
however, this envelope is very tenuously bound in both
RSG15 and RSG25. For each model we tested six choices
of TOV limit (2.0 - 2.5 M⊙ , in 0.1 M⊙ increments) and
evaluated the strength of the shock that reached the hydrogen envelope. Using the full neutrino loss model,
we found in every case tested for RSG15 and in 3 of
6 tested for RSG25 that the shock produced was larger
than 1×1047 ergs, the approximate binding energy of the
envelope (see Table 3). We can therefore realistically expect the envelope to be ejected in these cases. However,
the highest kinetic energy achieved was only of the order of 6×1047 ergs, and most models fell well below that
number. The envelope is therefore ejected with a very
low velocity (50 - 100 km/s). It emits most of its energy

& Heger
required to form a stable disk at the last stable orbit of a Schwarzschild black hole (lower curve) or Kerr black hole (upper curve) including the given mass. The
intermediate curve that follows the Schwarzschild curve until far out in the star uses the integrated angular momentum in the model to determine the last stable orbit.
Where the irregular dark line showing the actual angular momentum on the star intersects this line a disk can form. The outer 9 M⊙ of Model V24 and the outer 10 M⊙
of Model V36 will form a disk. The edge of the helium cores of the two models is apparent in the sharp inflection in the angular momentum at 8.3 M⊙ and 15.0 M⊙ .
Mass loss was included in the calculation, but due to the low metallicity, only 0.05 M⊙ and 0.15 M⊙ was lost in V24 and V36, respectively. Note that, if all the surface
material accreted here, the black hole would rotate at nearly its maximum allowed value (i.e., the red line intersects the green one at the end).
for massive main-sequence stars depends upon some fractional
power of the metallicity (Kudritzki 2002). More important and
less certain is the dependence of mass lost as a red or blue
supergiant on metallicity. It is thought that mass loss from cool
giants is more dependent upon pulsations and grain formation
(Reimers 1977; Smith et al. 2011). One might expect therefore
a rapid falloff in mass loss below some value necessary for
significant grain production. It has been estimated that red giant
mass loss will be significantly less below 0.1 Z⊙ (Bowen &
Willson 1991; Zijlstra 2004).
If stars do not lose mass then they conserve angular momentum. Since the natural course of evolution leads to the contraction and spin up of the inner star, shear instabilities and
magnetic torques will concentrate an increasing amount of angular momentum in the outer regions of the star. While the

angular momentum distributions as shown in Figure 1. While
the lack of sufficient angular momentum within the helium core
precludes making a disk around a black hole within that mass,
there is ample rotation in the outer part of the hydrogen envelope
to do so. This could be a very common occurrence. From the
survey of A. Heger & S. E. Woosley (2012, in preparation), the
total angular momentum of a massive star at birth that has an
equatorial rotation speed of about 20% Keplerian on the main
sequence is

We obtained two spectra for PS1-12bb. At the time of the
second epoch (+33 days) the i-band light curve of PS1-12bb
had declined by ∼3 mag. Similar to the spectrum obtained near
maximum light, this spectrum is dominated by continuum (with
some contribution from its host galaxy’s light). This is in contrast
to any other “late time” spectra of a rapidly declining SN that has
been obtained to date. Both SN 2005ek (Drout et al. 2013) and
SN 2010X (Kasliwal et al. 2010) were observed between 10
and 35 days post-maximum. Both events (Type Ic)
