Stellar Compact object mergers are not only important sources of gravitational waves but also central engines that power electromagnetic transients and r-processes, if matter is involved. I will review recent progress modeling the merger of black hole-neutron star and neutron stars binaries highlighting state-of-the-art general relativistic hydrodynamic simulations.
A novel approach in constructing deviations of the Kerr spacetime whereas
the symmetries can be preserved is presented. The method was applied
trivially in all known classical black-hole spacetimes tested, while
provides the possibility of testing and inventing deformations of Kerr in
a quick and innovative way. The methodology is based on earlier work by
