Examples of dBH-LC formation through SN or inner binary merger in triple evolution are shown. Both panels display the evolution of component mass, radius, orbital separation, and eccentricity as functions of time. In both panels, the gray region indicates the phase when the inner binary undergoes RLOF, and the red region marks the dBH-LC phase. In addition, the initial parameters of the two triples shown in the figure are as follows: In the left panel, the masses of the system are m1 = 23.57 M, m2 = 14.96 M, and m3 = 0.13 M. The semi-major axes and eccentricities are ain = 1902.10 R, aout = 19130.05 R, ein = 0.51, and eout = 0.46. The inclinations and arguments of pericenter are cos iin = 0.80, cos iout = 0.04, ωin = 6.00, and ωout = 0.07. In the right panel, the masses of the triple are m1 = 52.84 M, m2 = 8.07 M, and m3 = 9.00 M. The semi-major axes and eccentricities are ain = 66.26 R, aout = 2666.19 R, ein = 0.18, and eout = 0.66. The inclinations and arguments of pericenter are cos iin = −0.98, cos iout = −0.99, ωin = 0.79, and ωout = 2.99.
