<div style="margin-top: 14pt; margin-bottom: 14pt;">We employ our implementation of General Relativistic force- free electrodynamics within the framework of the Einstein Toolkit in order to explore progenitor magnetospheres of high-luminosity transient events.
Presenting recent results from simulations of twisted magnetospheres of highly magnetized neutron stars (magnetars) we demonstrate the instability of certain high-energy solutions to the Grad- Shafranov equation, potentially liberating a significant amount
of energy to the magnetosphere and onto the magnetar crust. Further, we probe the energy extraction from rapidly spinning black holes via the Blandford/Znajek process] in progenitor models without a large scale magnetic flux by employing an accretion model
for a system of magnetic loops on a dynamically evolving spacetime. </div>

In this talk I will briefly present the updates from my doctoral thesis work on simulating highly eccentric neutron star binaries using state-of-the-art BAM code which is a finite difference code. Additionally, I will also present some results from a relatively
new methodology which is based on spectral methods, namely the Discontinuous Galerkin methods, in solving the general relativistic hydrodynamics equations.</font></div>
