dc.description.abstract | The very-high-energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) extragalactic sky is dominated by blazars, a class of
active galactic nuclei which show rapid variability at all wavelengths. Target of Opportunity (ToO)
observations triggered by flaring activity detected at longer wavelengths are, thus, an important
part of the blazar observing strategy of H.E.S.S., an array of five imaging atmospheric Cherenkov
telescopes sensitive to VHE photons.
In this contribution we detail the H.E.S.S. extragalactic ToO program, describing the specific
procedures currently in place to follow up on multi-wavelength alerts. The program is illustrated
by discussing a few recent noteworthy targets observed with the H.E.S.S. phase II array over the
last two years of blazar ToO observations | en_US |
