On the Jacobi capture origin of binaries with applications to the Earth-Moon system and black holes in galactic nuclei

Close encounters between two bodies in a disc often result in a single orbital deflection. However, within their Jacobi volumes, where the gravitational forces between the two bodies and the central body become competitive, temporary captures with multiple close encounters become possible outcomes:...
