We explore the multi-messenger signatures of encounters between two neutron stars (ns 2 ) and between a neutron star and a stellar-mass black hole (nsbh). We focus on the dierences between gravitational wave driven binary mergers and dynamical collisions that occur, for example, in globular clusters. Our discussion is based on Newtonian hydrodynamics simulations that incorporate a nuclear equation of state and a multiavour neutrino treatment. For both types of encounters we compare the gravitational wave and neutrino emission properties. We also calculate the rates at which nearly unbound mass is delivered back to the central remnant in a ballistic-fallback-plusviscous-disk model and we analyze the properties of the dynamically ejected matter. Last but not least we address the electromagnetic transients that accompany each type of encounter. We nd that dynamical collisions are at least as promising as binary mergers for producing (short) gamma-ray bursts, but they also share the same possible caveats in terms of baryonic pollution. All encounter remnants produce peak neutrino luminosities of at least 10 53 erg/s, some of the collision cases exceed this value by more than an order of magnitude. The canonical ns 2 merger case ejects more than 1% of a solar mass of extremely neutron-rich (Ye 0:03) material, an amount that is consistent with double neutron star mergers being a major source of r-process in the galaxy. nsbh collisions eject very large amounts of matter ( 0:15 M ) which seriously constrains their admissible occurrence rates. The compact object collision rate (sum of ns 2 and nsbh) must therefore be less, likely much less, than 10% of the ns 2 merger rate. The radioactively decaying ejecta produce optical-UV \macronova" which, for the canonical merger case, peak after 0:4 days with a luminosity of 5 10 41 erg/s. ns 2 (nsbh) collisions reach up to 2 (4) times larger peak luminosities. The dynamic ejecta deposit a kinetic energy comparable to a supernova in the ambient medium. The canonical merger case releases approximately 2 10 50 erg, the most extreme (but likely rare) cases deposit kinetic energies of up to 10 52 erg. The deceleration of this mildly relativistic material by the ambient medium produces long lasting radio ares. A canonical ns 2 merger at the detection horizon of advanced LIGO/Virgo produces a radio
