abstract = {Time-domain multi-messenger astronomy is the study of
transient astrophysical phenomena using several messenger
particles and waves. The High Energy Stereoscopic System
(H.E.S.S.) is a ground-based telescope array, which measures
very-high-energy gamma rays between 30 GeV and 100 TeV.
Within this work, three H.E.S.S. transients follow-up
programs and their results are shown. At first, the nova
program is shown together with the detection of the 2021 RS
Ophiuchi (RS Oph) outburst. RS Oph is a known nova with past
eruptions. The analysis of the nova presented in this work
shows a clear detection over the first five nights of
observations, and a marginal detection two to four weeks
after the eruption. RS Oph is thus the first Galactic
transient phenomenon detected at ~1 TeV energies. A clear
variability of the spectrum is shown. A discussion of the
underlying physics concludes, that the observed gamma-ray
emission most likely stems from cooled protons accelerated
within an astrophysical shock. The results show
time-resolved particle acceleration. The second program is
the gravitational-waves (GWs) program. Here, the analysis of
four observed binary black hole merger events is shown. No
detection is reported, and upper limit sky maps are derived
instead. The viability of GW follow-up with H.E.S.S. is
discussed, and a case is made for a potential counterpart
detection. The third program is the tidal disruption event
(TDE) program, a pioneered program established at the
emergence of the source class within the last few years.
Unique challenges of the follow-up program are discussed,
and the H.E.S.S. follow-up of the event AT2019uqv is shown.
No detection is reported, and upper limits for AT2019uqv are
given instead. The interest in follow-up observations of
TDEs with gamma-ray instruments is stressed. In conclusion,
a comparison of the different programs and their
requirements is given, together with an outlook for the next
decade of ground-based gamma-ray observations.},
