Ground based Cherenkov telescope systems measure astrophysical gamma-ray emission against a background of cosmic-ray induced air showers. The subtraction of this background is a major challenge for the extraction of spectra and morphology of gamma-ray sources. The unprecedented sensitivity of the new generation of ground based very-high-energy gamma-ray experiments such as H.E.S.S. has lead to the discovery of many previously unknown extended sources. The analysis of such sources requires a range of different background modelling techniques. Here we describe some of the techniques that have been applied to data from the H.E.S.S. instrument and compare their performance. Each background model is introduced and discussed in terms of suitability for image generation or spectral analysis and possible caveats are mentioned. We show that there is not a single multi-purpose model, different models are appropriate for different tasks. To keep systematic uncertainties under control it is important to apply several models to the same data set and compare the results.

Multiwavelength study of non-thermal emission in the Swift J1834.9-0846/W41 region
Modeling favors a lepto-hadronic supernova remnant for the extended TeV emission from HESS J1834-087 plus a leptonic magnetar wind nebula for the central point-like source, with an implied magnetar birth spin period b...

H.E.S.S. programme searching for VHE gamma rays associated with FRBs
H.E.S.S. found no very high energy gamma-ray counterpart to targeted fast radio bursts, setting 99% confidence upper limits on their luminosity of 10^44 to 10^48 erg/s.

Probing the sensitivity of CTAO-N LSTs observations at large zenith angles to the multi-TeV gamma-ray emission from the inner 10 parsecs of the Galactic Center
A simulation predicts that 500 hours of CTAO-North four-LST observations at large zenith angles can discriminate between dark-matter, millisecond-pulsar, and proton-induced models of the Galactic Center TeV source HES...

Non-thermal emission from the vicinity of the magnetar CXOU J171405.7-381031
Both leptonic and lepto-hadronic models fit the CTB 37B gamma-ray spectrum; neutral-pion decay matches above ~10 TeV but needs ~10^51 erg in protons unless the remnant hits dense gas.

Constraining leptonic and hadronic gamma-ray emission from HESS J1825-137 and its environment
Multi-telescope spectral modeling of HESS J1825-137 using Naima and MCMC shows leptonic dominance for existing GeV-TeV data but lepto-hadronic preference when adding simulated CTAO or LHAASO UHE points.
