Victime pénale et Conseil de l'Europe : chronique d'un faux-semblant ?
International audienceSi les droits de la victime pénale ont fait l’objet de nombreuses consécrations au cours des 30 dernières années, l’on ne saurait occulter que l’action par laquelle elle est à même faire valoir ces droits devant une juridiction répressive a sensiblement troublé la Cour européenne écartelée entre les différents systèmes répressifs que comprend le continent européen. Le statut de la victime d’une infraction est donc à géométrie variable, les différentes instances hésitant à consacrer l’action de cette victime à la fois civile et pénale
The Araucaria Project: A study of the classical Cepheid in the eclipsing binary system OGLE LMC562.05.9009 in the Large Magellanic Cloud
We present a detailed study of the classical Cepheid in the double-lined,
highly eccentric eclipsing binary system OGLE-LMC562.05.9009. The Cepheid is a
fundamental mode pulsator with a period of 2.988 days. The orbital period of
the system is 1550 days. Using spectroscopic data from three 4-8-m telescopes
and photometry spanning 22 years, we were able to derive the dynamical masses
and radii of both stars with exquisite accuracy. Both stars in the system are
very similar in mass, radius and color, but the companion is a stable,
non-pulsating star. The Cepheid is slightly more massive and bigger (M_1 = 3.70
+/- 0.03M_sun, R_1 = 28.6 +/- 0.2R_sun) than its companion (M_2 = 3.60 +/-
0.03M_sun, R_2 = 26.6 +/- 0.2R_sun). Within the observational uncertainties
both stars have the same effective temperature of 6030 +/- 150K. Evolutionary
tracks place both stars inside the classical Cepheid instability strip, but it
is likely that future improved temperature estimates will move the stable giant
companion just beyond the red edge of the instability strip. Within current
observational and theoretical uncertainties, both stars fit on a 205 Myr
isochrone arguing for their common age. From our model, we determine a value of
the projection factor of p = 1.37 +/- 0.07 for the Cepheid in the
OGLE-LMC562.05.9009 system. This is the second Cepheid for which we could
measure its p-factor with high precision directly from the analysis of an
eclipsing binary system, which represents an important contribution towards a
better calibration of Baade-Wesselink methods of distance determination for
Cepheids.Comment: Accepted to be published in Ap
Stellar Astrophysics and Exoplanet Science with the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE)
The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE) is a planned 11.25-m aperture
facility with a 1.5 square degree field of view that will be fully dedicated to
multi-object spectroscopy. A rebirth of the 3.6m Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope
on Maunakea, MSE will use 4332 fibers operating at three different resolving
powers (R ~ 2500, 6000, 40000) across a wavelength range of 0.36-1.8mum, with
dynamical fiber positioning that allows fibers to match the exposure times of
individual objects. MSE will enable spectroscopic surveys with unprecedented
scale and sensitivity by collecting millions of spectra per year down to
limiting magnitudes of g ~ 20-24 mag, with a nominal velocity precision of ~100
m/s in high-resolution mode. This white paper describes science cases for
stellar astrophysics and exoplanet science using MSE, including the discovery
and atmospheric characterization of exoplanets and substellar objects, stellar
physics with star clusters, asteroseismology of solar-like oscillators and
opacity-driven pulsators, studies of stellar rotation, activity, and
multiplicity, as well as the chemical characterization of AGB and extremely
metal-poor stars.Comment: 31 pages, 11 figures; To appear as a chapter for the Detailed Science

FSR 1716: A New Milky Way Globular Cluster Confirmed Using VVV RR Lyrae Stars
We use deep multi-epoch near-IR images of the VISTA Variables in the VĂa Láctea (VVV) Survey to search for RR Lyrae stars toward the Southern Galactic plane. Here, we report the discovery of a group of RR Lyrae stars close together in VVV tile d025. Inspection of the VVV images and PSF photometry reveals that most of these stars are likely to belong to a globular cluster that matches the position of the previously known star cluster FSR 1716. The stellar density map of the field yields a >100? detection for this candidate globular cluster that is centered at equatorial coordinates R.A. J2000 = 16:10:30.0, decl. J2000 = ?53:44:56 and galactic coordinates l = 329.77812, b = ?1.59227. The color–magnitude diagram of this object reveals a well-populated red giant branch, with a prominent red clump at K s = 13.35 ± 0.05, and J ? K s = 1.30 ± 0.05. We present the cluster RR Lyrae positions, magnitudes, colors, periods, and amplitudes. The presence of RR Lyrae indicates an old globular cluster, with an age >10 Gyr. We classify this object as an Oosterhoff type I globular cluster, based on the mean period of its RR Lyrae type ab, days, and argue that this is a relatively metal-poor cluster with [Fe/H] = ?1.5 ± 0.4 dex. The mean extinction and reddening for this cluster are and E(J ? K s ) = 0.72 ± 0.02 mag, respectively, as measured from the RR Lyrae colors and the near-IR color–magnitude diagram. We also measure the cluster distance using the RR Lyrae type ab stars. The cluster mean distance modulus is (m ? M)0 = 14.38 ± 0.03 mag, implying a distance D = 7.5 ± 0.2 kpc and a Galactocentric distance R G = 4.3 kpc
