contents We investigate the attractor of spin density in relativistic spin hydrodynamics using Zubarev's non-equilibrium statistical operator formalism in the spin probe limit. We derive the (0+1)D Bjorken flow equations and the associated attractor equation while retaining second order gradient corrections in the relevant relaxation constitutive equations including couplings associated with nonlinear response and nonlocal memory effects. We analyze the early time fixed point structure and analytically determine the early time attractor solution, thereby clarifying branch selection and the role of different dynamical corrections. We find that source-like driving terms modify the leading correction to the attractor solution without changing the fixed point structure, whereas self feedback terms involving the rotational stress tensor modify the dominant balance and modify the early time fixed point structure. We further study the late time asymptotic behavior in the conformal limit and show that the newly added terms affect the first subleading asymptotics without changing the leading late time branches. These results provide a unified picture of early and late time attractor dynamics in the conformal limit.
