N2 - We investigate the orbital dynamics of an exosystem consisting of a solar-mass host star, a transiting body, and an Earth-size exoplanet within the framework of the generalized three-body problem. Depending on its mass, the transiting body can either be a super-Jupiter or a brown dwarf. To determine the final states of the Earth-size exoplanet, we conduct a systematic and detailed classification of the available phase space trajectories. Our classification scheme distinguishes between the bounded, escape, and collisional motions of the Earth-size exoplanet. Additionally, for cases of ordered (regular) motion, we further categorize the associated initial conditions based on the geometry of their respective trajectories. These bounded regular trajectories hold significant importance as they provide insights into the regions of phase space where the motion of the Earth-size exoplanet can be dynamically stable. Of particular interest is the identification of initial conditions that result in a bounded exomoon-like orbit of the Earth-size exoplanet around the transiting body.
