Post-processing of 44-year adiabatic 3D simulations of common envelope events yields lightcurves with a 3-5 year hot peak from photosphere expansion, dust formation after 1-3 years causing bolometric decline and 400 K plateau, plus predictions of optical thinning in 100-200 years, matching some obse
Stellar evolution and atmosphere models predict black hole progenitors are predominantly hot and blue with a direct-collapse rate of ~0.4 per century in a 1 Msun/yr star-forming galaxy.
N6946-BH1's remnant is roughly 10 times fainter than its progenitor while stellar merger remnants are 10-100 times brighter, and asymmetric dust cannot explain the difference.
