Figure 3

Spin distribution of MBH coalescence remnants for two different MBH accretion models. Red histogram: accretion proceeds in a chaotic fashion according to [103], resulting in small spins; blue histogram: accretion is coherent, resulting in efficient spinup. The seed BH spins at formation were set to zero.
