Abstract
We first derive a set of equationsdescribing general stationary configurations of relativistic force-free plasma, without assuming any geometric symmetries. We then demonstrate that electromagnetic interaction of merging neutron stars is necessarily dissipative due to the effect of electromagnetic draping-creation of dissipative regions near the star (in the single magnetized case) or at the magnetospheric boundary (in the double magnetized case). Our results indicate that even in the single magnetized case we expect that relativistic jets (or "tongues") are produced, with correspondingly beamed emission pattern.
