In Appendix \ref{wavestar}, we calculate characteristic wave frequencies $\omega_*(r)$ and AM fluxes $\dot{J}_*(r)$ entering the core during different phases of massive star evolution. During core He and shell C-burning, waves of lower frequency are somewhat attenuated by radiative photon diffusion. Neutrino damping is likely irrelevant at all times. During shell burning phases, the waves become highly non-linear as they approach the inner $\sim 0.3 M_\odot$, and we expect them to be mostly dissipated via non-linearly breaking before reflecting at the center of the star.
The AM deposited by IGW is only significant if it is larger than the amount of AM contained within the core of the star. For a typical massive star that has a zero-age main sequence equatorial rotation velocity of
$v_{\rot} $v_{\rm rot} \sim 150 \,{\rm km \ s}^{-1}$ (corresponding to a rotation period of $P_{\rm MS} \sim 1.5 \, {\rm d}$ for our stellar model), we caluclate the AM $J_0(M)$ contained within the mass coordinate
$M_(r)$, $M(r)$, given rigid rotation on the main sequence. In the absence of AM transport, this AM is conserved, although the core will spin-up as it contracts. Of course, magnetic torques may extract much of this AM and thus $J_0$ represents an upper limit to the AM contained within the mass coordinate $M(r)$. Both $J_0$ and the corresponding rotation profile are shown in the bottom panel of Figure \ref{fig:MassiveIGWtime}.
For each phase, we calculate In the
characteristic IGW spin down time scale, $t_*(r)$, on which the waves can change top panel of Figure \ref{fig:MassiveIGWtime}, we plot the
spin rate by an amount
$\omega_*(r)$, of AM capable of being extracted by IGW during each burning phase,
\begin{equation}
\label{eqn:tstar}
t_*(r) J_{\rm ex} =
\frac{I(r) \omega_*(r)}{\dot{J}_*(r)} \, , \dot{J}_*(r) T_{\rm shell}.
\end{equation}
where $I(r)$ is We plot both a pessimistic and optimistic estimate, corresponding to the left and right-hand sides of equation \ref{eqn:Ewaves}, respectively. We find that the
moment values of
inertia interior $J_{\rm ex}$ is comparable to $J_0$ for waves emitted during He core burning and C shell burning. This entails that IGW emitted during these phases may be able to
radius $r$. significantly spin down the cores of massive stars. However, given the uncertainties, it is unclear whether IGW have a significant effect. During O and Si shell burning, we find that IGW most likely cannot remove the AM contained within the core. However, if the core has been spun down by IGW during previous burning phases, or via magnetic torques, IGW may still modify the core spin rate (see Section
