H.E.S.S. follow-up observations of binary black hole coalescence events during the second and third gravitational-wave observing runs of advanced LIGO and advanced Virgo

We report on the observations of four well-localized binary black hole (BBH) mergers by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) during the second and third observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo, O2 and O3. H.E.S.S. can observe 20 deg2 of the sky at a time and follows up gravitati...
