The first detection of a binary neutron star merger through gravitationalwaves and photons marked the dawn of multi-messenger astronomy withgravitational waves, and it greatly increased our insight in different fieldsof astrophysics and fundamental physics. However, many open questions on thephysical process involved in a compact binary merger still remain and many ofthese processes concern plasma physics. With the second generation ofgravitational wave interferometers approaching their design sensitivity, thenew generation under design study, and new X-ray detectors under development,the high energy Universe will become more and more a unique laboratory for ourunderstanding of plasma in extreme conditions. In this review, we discuss themain electromagnetic signals expected to follow the merger of two compactobjects highlighting the main physical processes involved and some of the mostimportant open problems in the field.
