\label{eqn:Jstar}  \dot{J}_*(r) \sim \bigg[\frac{\omega_*(r)}{\omega_c}\bigg]^{-a} \dot{J}_0.  \end{equation}  Above, In equation \ref{eqn:omstar2},  $r_c$ is the radius of the inner edge of the convective zone, $\lambda = l(l+1)$, $l$ is the angular index of the wave (which corresponds to its spherical harmonic dependence, $Y_{lm}$), $N_T$ is the thermal part of the Brunt-V\"{a}is\"{a}l\"{a} frequency, and $K$ is the thermal diffusivity. In what follows, we focus on $l=1$ waves because they have the longest damping lengths and may dominate the AM flux when the waves are heavily damped. Moreover, focusing on $l=1$ waves allows us to estimate maximum spin frequencies, although slower spin frequencies can be obtained when higher values of $l$ and $m$ contribute to the AM flux. \subsection{Non-linear Damping}
