The Gaia BH3 companion exhibits an r-I abundance pattern reproduced by core-collapse supernova plus r-process yields and closely matching diluted ED-2 stars, supporting early cluster enrichment over local pollution.
Stellar evolution and atmosphere models predict black hole progenitors are predominantly hot and blue with a direct-collapse rate of ~0.4 per century in a 1 Msun/yr star-forming galaxy.
Review of high-precision astrometry applications to compact object astrophysics, emphasizing Gaia DR3 evidence for mass-dependent peculiar velocities and NS-BH similarities.
