Triple Evolution Pathways to Black Hole Low-mass X-Ray Binaries: Insights from V404 Cygni

A recent discovery shows that V404 Cygni, a prototypical black hole low-mass X-ray binary (BH-LMXB) is a hierarchical triple: the BH and donor star are orbited by a 1.2 M _⊙ tertiary at a distance of at least 3500 au. Motivated by this system, we evolve a grid of ∼50,000 triple star systems, spannin...
