The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
Three pieces carry the argument. (1) A one-dimensional merger prescription: when the expanded primary reaches 50 solar radii, the secondary's mass is added at 10^-2 solar masses per year carrying the full specific angular momentum of the binary orbit, j_acc = M1 sqrt(G R_*/(M1+M2)) (Eq. 2), with added gas set to the primary's surface entropy and composition. (2) An angular-momentum transport model based on the Tayler instability — magnetic field amplification that drives nearly rigid rotation in radiative zones — which fixes the rotation profile that survives to collapse. (3) A death criterion: comparing the envelope's specific angular momentum with j_ISCO (Eq. 9), the threshold for material
What would settle it
A three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulation of an early Case B merger at mass ratio q ≈ 0.5–0.8, checking whether the full orbital angular momentum of Eq. (2) is retained, how much of the secondary is actually kept, and whether helium-core material reaches the surface. Large deviations in any of these would shift or erase the mapped transient classes. Observationally, measuring a fast-rotating, helium/nitrogen-enriched envelope in a nearby SN 1987A-like progenitor would confirm the channel, while finding none in a sample of a dozen such events would cap its contribution to the observed rate.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
On the paper's own terms, the discovery is a connected set of fates. Post-main-sequence binaries that merge with mass ratio roughly M2/M1 ≳ 0.5–0.6 die as blue supergiants, not red supergiants, and retain much of the merger's orbital angular momentum in their radiative envelopes until core collapse; lower-mass products rotate faster because weaker winds shed less angular momentum. A successful neutrino-driven explosion produces a long-rising light curve of SN 1987A morphology, at an estimated rate (≈2–4% of core collapses) matching the observed fraction of such supernovae. A failed explosion makes the envelope fall back over 10^3–10^5 seconds, circularizing 0.1–several solar masses into an a
Load-bearing premise
The whole landscape rests on treating a post-main-sequence binary merger as one-dimensional rapid accretion of the secondary's mass onto the primary, with no mass lost, the added gas given the primary's surface composition, and the full orbital angular momentum of Eq. (2) retained — a picture that ignores the secondary's helium-rich core and merger dredge-up, which would change the envelope composition, the blue-supergiant threshold, and the rotation profile powering every di
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- A single route — post-main-sequence binary mergers at sub-solar metallicity — can populate the observed landscape from SN 1987A-like supernovae to ultra-long gamma-ray bursts to fast luminous transients, tying together classes usually modeled separately.
- Fast-rotating blue supergiants can be produced at Large Magellanic Cloud-like metallicity, so ultra-long gamma-ray burst engines do not require the near-zero metallicities previously invoked.
- Failed collapse of the lower-mass merger products sustains accretion at 10^-6–10^-3 solar masses per second for hours, and the resulting jets break out of the stellar envelope before they shut off, making these stars workable collapsar engines.
- The channel's estimated rate (≈2–4% of core collapses) agrees with the observed fraction of 1987A-like supernovae, supporting the merger origin for that class.
- High-mass (25 solar mass) merger products that fail to explode yield week-long, ~10^44 erg/s wind-driven transients with hydrogen, helium, fast asymmetric ejecta, and little nickel — the hallmarks of AT2018cow-like fast blue optical transients.
Reading between the lines
- Because the one-dimensional prescription neglects the secondary's helium-rich core, a three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulation of an early Case B merger at q ≈ 0.5–0.8 is the cleanest test of whether the true blue-supergiant threshold and the retained angular momentum move; any shift there rescales all the quoted rates.
- If late-stage LBV-like mass loss is as strong as radio observations of fast blue optical transients imply, it could strip the rotating envelope and quench the very accretion that powers them — a self-limiting tension that wind prescriptions for the final centuries could settle.
- The predicted anti-correlation between black-hole spin and final black-hole mass offers a pathway to the massive, spinning black holes seen in gravitational-wave events, which hierarchical mergers struggle to produce.
- The predicted cocoon flash (near-UV, ~10^42–10^43 erg/s, peaking days after jet breakout, detectable to z ≈ 0.2) is a discriminator: prompt ultraviolet follow-up of a nearby fast transient could tell a blue-supergiant collapsar from a magnetar-powered engine.

Referee Report
Summary. The paper constructs a MESA grid of 32 rotating supergiant models from post-main-sequence binary mergers, spanning four primary masses (10–25 Msun) and accreted masses up to 0.8 M1, at LMC-like metallicity. The key findings are that larger accreted mass favors blue supergiants (BSGs) at core collapse, that BSGs retain rapidly rotating outer envelopes (with lower-mass BSGs rotating faster), and that these rotation profiles lead to a landscape of transients: successful neutrino-driven explosions produce 1987A-like SNe with long-rising light curves, while failed explosions produce fallback-driven disk winds and possibly relativistic jets, proposed as progenitors of ultra-long GRBs and AT2018cow-like fast luminous transients. The paper includes light-curve calculations with SNEC, an accretion-disk model from Fuller & Lu (2022), and a jet-breakout model, and compares the resulting surface rotation rates to observed LMC BSGs.
Significance. If the main claims hold, this is a valuable unification: a single binary-merger channel produces a diversity of core-collapse transients, from ordinary Type II-P SNe to 1987A-like SNe, ultra-long GRBs, and fast optical transients. The paper's strengths include the systematic 32-model grid, the comparison to observed LMC BSG rotation (which provides an external anchor), the explicit sensitivity study in Appendix B showing that final mass, radius, and Teff vary by about 10% under altered physics, and the qualitatively reasonable fit to the observed rate of 1987A-like SNe. The modeling is state-of-the-art in using MESA with modern AM transport, and the authors are candid about the limitations of their 1D merger prescription. However, the central transient predictions inherit several untested assumptions, as detailed below, so the significance will be fully realized only after those assumptions are shown to be benign or are appropriately bracketed.
major comments (2)
- [Section 2, Section 5, Appendix B] The merger is modeled as rapid accretion onto the primary at R* = 50 Rsun, with accreted material set to the primary's surface specific entropy and composition, no mass loss from the system, and jacc from Eq. (2). Section 5 explicitly concedes that this neglects the secondary's helium-rich core and dredge-up, which can affect envelope helium abundance and hence the BSG threshold. However, the sensitivity study in Appendix B varies merger radius, wind efficiency, AM transport scheme, and resolution, but not the entropy/composition structure of the accreted material. Since the final AM profile, and therefore the mass with j > jISCO (Table 1), directly controls Mcirc, Mdot, Ljet, and Lwind (Eqs. 14–16, Fig. 7), this untested variation is load-bearing. I request additional models (or a quantitative bounding argument) that vary the accreted material's entropy/composition, or include a He-rich
- [Section 4.2.1–4.2.2] The engine model adopts constant disk and jet parameters: theta_disk = 45 degrees, s = 0.5, eta_jet = 0.01, and Mej scaling from Ivanov & Fernandez (2021). No sensitivity tests or error bars are presented for any of these. The BH accretion rate (Eq. 16) and the wind/jet luminosities (Eqs. 14–15) scale directly with these choices; for instance, the disk mass is proportional to sin(theta_disk) ~ 0.7, and s determines the split between accretion and wind. Moreover, the jet efficiency eta_jet is taken from MAD simulations at accretion rates orders of magnitude higher than the 1e-6–1e-3 Msun/s rates in these models (Section 4.2.2). The identification of these models as viable ultra-long GRB and FBOT progenitors therefore needs either a parameter exploration or a clear statement of how the conclusions should be revised as these parameters vary.
minor comments (4)
- [Figure 6 caption] Typo: 'increaesd' should be 'increased'.
- [Section 1] Typo: 'throughtout' should be 'throughout' in the first paragraph.
- [Section 4.2.2] Missing space in 'thatthe' in the sentence 'If we assume thatthe efficiencies...'.
- [Table 1 and Figure 4] The notation 'Mj>jISCO,Sch' is used in the table, but the text sometimes refers to 'mass with j > jISCO'; please define consistently. Also, the gray region in Figure 4 would benefit from an explicit statement of the BH spin range that bounds it.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: transient predictions are forward-modeled from explicit merger assumptions and compared to external data, not fitted to target observables.
full rationale
The derivation chain is self-contained. Merger products are constructed in MESA by rapid accretion with an explicitly prescribed specific AM (Eq. 2), and the resulting BSG/RSG dichotomy and rotation profiles emerge from stellar-structure evolution, not from tuning to the transient classes the paper claims to explain. The rotation outputs are checked against external LMC observations of BSG surface rotation (Eq. 4), an independent comparison. The transient modeling uses SNEC for light curves and the Fuller & Lu (2022) one-zone disk model for failed-explosion accretion; both are published tools used as forward models, and neither encodes the paper's conclusions as an input. The self-citations to Fuller et al. (2019) and Fuller & Lu (2022) are used as physical prescriptions for AM transport and disk evolution, respectively, and are not invoked as a uniqueness theorem or as a substitute for derivation. No fitted parameter is renamed as a prediction: the model grid spans M1 and M2 without calibration to the target SNe, ultra-long GRBs, or FBOTs. The limitations admitted in Section 5—neglect of the secondary's helium-rich core and dredge-up—are honest caveats about physical realism and do not constitute circularity, since the predictions are not defined in terms of those neglected effects. Overall, the central claims are independent of the inputs by construction and rest on standard stellar-evolution and accretion-disk modeling.

abstract
We present a grid of rotating supergiant models from post-main sequence binary merger products, constructed by the MESA stellar evolution code. We focus on the evolution of these stars until core-collapse, in addition to their rotation, which could influence their mass loss and explosion phenomenology. We find that (i) as in previous studies, larger mass gain by merger favors the production of blue supergiants (BSGs) over red supergiants, and (ii) merger products that end as BSGs at core collapse have rotating outer envelopes, with lower-mass BSGs having faster envelope rotation due to less wind mass loss. We model the expected transients from these BSGs upon core-collapse, considering cases where the neutrino-driven explosion is successful and unsuccessful. The successful explosions result in supernovae (SNe) with long-rising light curves of morphology similar to SN 1987A. Failed explosions of these BSGs result in envelope fallback of $\sim (0.1$- several) $~M_\odot$ over $10^3$-$10^5$ seconds that power strong ($10^{51}$-$10^{53}$ erg) accretion-driven outflows in winds and possibly jets, with relativistic jets (if formed) generally capable of breaking out of the BSG envelope. Our modeling points to these merger-origin BSGs as viable progenitors for SN 1987A-like SNe, ultra-long gamma-ray bursts, and some of the fast luminous transients found in high-cadence optical surveys.
