Abstract

We present numerical three body simulations of a primordial black hole (PBH) encounter with the TOI 2796 system, which hosts a hot Jupiter. Over 100 days, we identify three outcomes: (i) ejection of the planet; (ii) a bound triple system (a approx. 1 au, P approx. 5 days); and (iii) capture of the planet by the PBH into a binary (0.0194 au, 15 days) that escapes the star. These results highlight the rich dynamical diversity of PBH encounters and their potential role in shaping planetary systems.
