Description
We report on optical observations with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer prototype in response to S200213t (GCN #27042).Targeted observations started shortly after the preliminary event notification was received. These spanned 47 unique tile pointings, with image subtraction, containing 54.2% of the source location probability (based on the initial BAYESTAR skymap) and were acquired between 04:15 UT Feb 13 2020 and 06:44 UT Feb 14 2020 (starting 3 minutes after the event trigger). No new transients that could be credibly associated with S200213t were detected.

    Insights from super-metal-rich stars: Is the Milky Way bar young?
    Context: Bar formation and merger events can contribute to the rearrangement of stars within the Galaxy in addition to triggering star formation (SF) epochs. Super-metal-rich (SMR) stars found in the solar neighbourhood (SNd) can be used as tracers of such events as they are expected to originate only in the inner Galaxy and to have definitely

    At the edge of source confusion in optical astronomy with new ultra-deep imaging surveys
    The deepest ground-based optical surveys (in terms of surface brightness mu~31 mag/arcsec^2) show that we are close to the dreaded source confusion limit. The typical distance between sources in these images is a few arcseconds, on the order of the natural seeing in these images. When this source confusion limit is reached, low surface brightness
