Abstract

The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is a southern hemisphere array of four Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes observing the sky in the very-high energy gamma-ray range (E > 100 GeV ). VHE observations are an invaluable tool to study the acceleration and propagation of energetic particles in many astrophysical systems where relativistic outflows are the main drivers of the emission, such as AGNs and galactic binary systems. In this paper the main results of the H.E.S.S. observations of these objects will be reviewed, and the general picture that emerges from them will be presented. We will also comment on prospects for future investigations with H.E.S.S.-II.
