Description
Over the last years, the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) has shown great progress in the follow-up and observation of energetic transient sources, shedding the light on cosmic particle acceleration and leading to discoveries such as the Recurrent Nova RS Ophiuchi. This brings to attention extreme supernova explosions, which are far more energetic and have been receiving growing interest as an emerging class of Fast Blue Optical Transients (FBOTs). In my talk, I will identify challenges associated with gamma-ray observations of these sources and explain how they will be tackled. I will outline how FBOTs will be identified in the optical band with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and the Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST) in order to trigger prompt follow-ups with H.E.S.S.
