Triples as Links between Binary Black Hole Mergers, Their Electromagnetic Counterparts, and Galactic Black Holes

We propose a formation pathway linking black holes (BHs) observed in gravitational-wave (GW) mergers, wide BH–stellar systems uncovered by Gaia, and accreting low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). In this scenario, a stellar-mass BH binary undergoes isolated binary evolution and merges while hosting a di...
