Description
The High Energy Stereoscopic System is currently the only facility available for studying the Very High Energy sky in the Southern Hemisphere. Its setup of four 12m and a central 28m telescope has proven to be sufficiently versatile to allow for outstanding research results after more than 20 years since inauguration. New sources and phenomena were discovered/studied as a result of dedicated in-depth observations, continuous surveys, and rapid responses to time-domain opportunities. Likewise, more advanced analysis frameworks were introduced and increasingly used. I’ll present highlights from observations made and results obtained during the last two years and will give an outlook for the planned new extension phase to operate H.E.S.S. well beyond 2025.
