The coalescence of two neutron stars in a binary is a prominent candidate for the central engine of GRBs. Previous calculations for realistic equations of state have focused on symmetric systems, where both components possess the same spin and mass. Here we analyze systems that are slightly asymmetric with the asymmetry stemming from either different masses (1.4 and 1.6 Msolar) or spins that are not aligned with the orbital angular momentum. Our calculations are performed using a 3D hydrodynamics code that is coupled to an elaborate equation of state for hot and dense nuclear matter. Implications for GRBs are discussed. .
