A Possible Formation Scenario of the Gaia ID 3425577610762832384: Inner Binary Merger inside a Triple Common Envelope

Recently, an identified noninteracting black hole (BH) binary, Gaia ID 3425577610762832384 (hereafter G3425), contains a BH (∼3.6 M _⊙ ) falling within the mass gap and has a nearly circular orbit, challenging the classical binary evolution and supernova theory. Here, we propose that G3425 originate...
