Abstract
Black hole - neutron star (BHNS) and neutron star - neutron star (NSNS) binaries are perhaps the most popular progenitors for short-hard gamma ray bursts. After about two decades of numerical relativity simulations of binary compact objects we are beginning to understand the necessary ingredients for jets to emerge from these systems following merger. We report on the latest development of this field summarizing the results from state-of-the-art numerical relativity (magnetohydrodynamic) simulations of compact binary mergers as progenitors of short-hard gamma-ray bursts.
