Three-Body Capture is a dynamical phenomenon in celestial mechanics wherein a system of three gravitationally interacting bodies undergoes a temporary or permanent bound state transition, distinguished from two-body capture by the essential role of the third body in enabling energy and momentum exchange that permits capture.
