Natal kicks from supernovae are proposed to disrupt Gaia progenitor binaries containing low-mass black holes more frequently than those leading to gravitational-wave mergers, accounting for the observed difference in the 2.5-5 solar mass gap.

Searching for the Third Wheel: High-Contrast Imaging Constraints on Tertiaries to Black Hole and Neutron Star Binaries
High-contrast imaging of 18 compact-object binaries yields no robust tertiary detections and rules out main-sequence tertiaries at projected separations greater than 500 au for Gaia systems and 2000 au for BH LMXBs.
