A promising source of gravitational radiation in LIGO's sensitivity window is the inspiral and coalescence of a binary system consisting of a BH and a NS. There is additional interest in BH-NS binaries because they could play a key role as the central engine for short GRBs. If this is indeed the scenario, BH-NS binaries will give us a unique opportunity for multi-messenger astronomy, namely mergers that would be able to be seen both in the electromagnetic and gravitational windows. We present results of general relativistic SPH simulations of BH-NS merger, including estimates of the gravitational waves emitted during these astronomical events.
