Current status and operation of the H.E.S.S. array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes

The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is an array of five imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) to study gamma-ray emission from astrophysical objects in the Southern hemisphere. It only hybrid IACTs, composed with different collection area and footprint, individually optimised for a specific energy range. Collectively, most sensitive gamma rays range 100 GeV TeV. has been operation since 2002 upgraded new cameras multiple times. Recent hardware upgrades changes operational procedures increased amount observing time, which key importance time-domain science. H.E.S.S. operations saw record data taking 2020 2021 we describe current emphasis on system performance, processes workflows, quality control, (near) real-time extraction science results. In light this, will briefly discuss early detection recurrent nova RS Oph alert distribution astrophysics community.
