![]() This means the star would have only lived a short time, maybe only a few million years. The researchers said if the black hole formed the traditional way – from the gravitational collapse of a star – that star would have been at least 20 times the mass of our sun. She is a project information specialist with the Gaia spacecraft team. Examinations of data collected on Gaia BH1 suggests “its existence is difficult to explain” using traditional evolutionary modeling methods, said Tineke Roegiers. The scientists said it remains unclear how the black hole formed in our Milky Way galaxy. While dormant, they give off nothing and are difficult to identify. When active, black holes give off high-energy light. El-Badry added that the black hole appears to be dormant, meaning not currently active. The telescopes also collected sensitive data on ultraviolet and near-infrared wavelengths.Įl-Badry said in a statement the Gemini observations “confirmed beyond a reasonable doubt” that the team had discovered a normal star and at least one black hole. The telescope in Chile and the Gemini instrument were able to provide the astronomers with high-resolution images. The researchers needed such telescopes to effectively observe the orbital motion of the black hole’s star. The team also used an instrument on the Gemini North telescope, which is based in Hawaii. One was the 6.5-meter Magellan Baade telescope, based at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. This effort involved six different highly sensitive telescopes across the world. El-Badry and his team then sought to confirm the discovery through numerous additional observations over a period of four months. Gaia has already discovered more than 800,000 multi-star systems. The black hole was first identified using the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Gaia spacecraft. He was the lead writer of a study describing the discovery in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Kareem El-Badry is an astrophysicist with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Astronomy. ![]() The star orbits the black hole at about the same distance as Earth orbits the sun. The newly discovered gravitational mass was identified by observing the motion of its orbiting star. The team said it is three times closer to Earth than the previous record-holder. ![]() The black hole is believed to weigh about 10 times the mass of our sun. They say it sits in the constellation of Ophiuchus. ![]() The researchers named the black hole Gaia BH1. In space, light moves about 9.4 trillion kilometers each year. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. They are believed to be formed from collapsed stars.Īn international group of astronomers recently announced the discovery of the black hole, which sits about 1,600 light years from Earth. Scientists say they have discovered the closest black hole to Earth.īlack holes are areas in space where gravity is so strong that nothing – not even light – can escape them. ![]() ![]() ![]() This re-enables parts like logic boards, top cases, Touch ID, displays, and flash storage. And newer Macs with T2 security chips will not function until a full diagnostic has been run on them after the repair.Īfter a hardware repair, newer Macs with T2 chips require that a separate program, Mac Configuration Utility (MCU), be run while connected to another Mac via USB or Thunderbolt cable. ![]() Apple technicians cannot order parts for an Apple device until they’ve run a full diagnostic on the device at least once, even if they already know what needs fixing. Apple’s Authorized Service Provider Manual notes that GSX grants you access to “take-apart, upgrade and repair procedures, basic servicing information, troubleshooting flow charts, product specs, adjustment procedures, and exploded view diagrams with part numbers.” That all certainly sounds like useful information!ĪST 2 isn’t just helpful, it’s mandatory. If something needs fixing or replacing, Apple’s equivalent of iFixit guides are available through the GSX site (check the left-hand column in this screencast). AST 1.5, via Apple Assistenza AvaTech Store/YouTube You can see AST 1 (technically 1.5) in action in this Italian video of a MacBook Air repair. Cycle count is important information that every device owner should have! Unfortunately, Apple has banned apps from their App Store that show cycle counts for mobile devices, creating a cottage industry for apps like Coconut Battery.ĪST 2 is (perhaps obviously) not the first diagnostic app that Apple has made-AST 2’s precursor was a totally different tool, and it’s still used to fix older devices, mostly from 2013 and earlier. One thing to note is that AST 2 provides a cycle count for an iOS device battery. Pretty neat! via iOS MacOS Genius/YouTubeĪST 2 can show you what’s wrong with a device, along with a lot of details you can only see if an Apple Store employee is feeling cavalier and generous. After the access request is approved, a diagnostic tool checks everything: battery, Bluetooth, cameras, sensors, Touch ID, the works. Presumably, there is a workaround for devices with entirely broken screens, likely involving a USB cable, but we haven’t seen it in action. The device gets a request to allow a diagnostic tool to run. Next, you enter the category of problem you’re trying to fix: “Fan,” “Charging,” or the like. The Mac Mini labeled “4” is suggested to provide local copies of boot-up and recovery tools to avoid large, repetitive downloads. A diagram from the Apple Services Toolkit 2 manual, showing the need for a technician’s computer (3) to have an active Global Services Exchange connection (2) to run diagnostics on the device being repaired (1). This remote connectivity is how Apple Store employees can check devices on the store floor, without lugging around cables or computers. You need a device’s serial number, which can be either read off the device in front of you or given to you over the phone. With an account, and certifications installed on your MacBook or iPad, you can then service Apple devices. You can only access AST 2 with an active connection to the web, and an authorized account with Apple’s private Global Services Exchange, or GSX. ![]() Once you know that, you can find it mentioned and even pictured in many places: on Apple’s own discussion forums, on PDFs inadvertently posted publicly by university IT help desks ( ahem), or even in the dark corners of YouTube. Apple’s Cloud-Based Diagnostic & Calibration Toolsįirst off, Apple’s diagnostic software has a name: Apple Services Toolkit 2, often abbreviated as AST 2. And take a look at Samsung’s own secret repair app, while we’re at it. What, exactly, can Apple-approved folks do with all this secret software-that-shall-not-be-named? Let’s dive into what we know. We’ve previously written about Apple’s internal diagnostic software, which Right to Repair legislation aims to make available to the rest of us. Instead, Apple’s official repair procedure requires proprietary software tools, available only to Authorized Service Providers and members of Apple’s unlaunched Independent Repair Program. No sacrifices or incantations can overcome this. Trying to replace core Mac parts can trigger a lock-out. You can do a lot, but in the newest iPhones, you can’t restore Touch ID, install a new battery, or replace a screen without a warning. No mere mortal, lacking Apple’s stamp of approval, can completely fix the company’s products. ![]() Edit (11/2/19): This post was updated to clarify and add information on more of Apple’s repair apps. ![]() ![]() ![]() Turning to redevelopment broadly, our 3-R initiatives include a total of 23 assets, which represent all regions of our portfolio and vary in terms of scope and scale of each redevelopment. Looking ahead to the next few quarters, we anticipate the impact of the 3-R initiative on our same store growth to fluctuate as we ramp up construction on several repositioning opportunities such as Tarpon Bay in Naples, Hitchcock in Aiken, Centennial Gateway in Las Vegas, and Shops at Moore at Oklahoma City. The 15 3-R assets that remain in our same store pool had a neutral to slightly positive impact to our same store growth as certain merchandising events that occurred last year, such as the replacement of Conn’s Electronics with TJ Maxx at Portofino, outweighed the negative offset of recapturing space. The 3.4% same store NOI growth excludes the eight redevelopment properties that have either started or are nearing construction, as outlined in our supplemental. The biggest contributor to cost savings came from our expense management initiatives like direct billing for tenant trash removal and lower insurance premiums. ![]() Sixty percent of this growth came from rent and occupancy increases while the remaining 40% was attributable to expense management. This quarter, same store NOI grew another 3.4% excluding redevelopments. Moving on to operational excellence and execution, we continue to report consistently strong same store results, with this quarter marking the 14 th consecutive quarter of same store NOI growth in excess of 3% for an average of 4.3% increases, which is about 100 basis points above our peer average. ![]() As a result of our regional platform and our commitment to our clients, our retention ratio on desired renewals was over 90% in the first quarter. Our tenant relationships remained strong throughout the quarter as our asset management and leasing teams conducted nearly 1,200 tenant interactions on an average tenant base of approximately 2,000. This quarter was no exception as we improved our NOI margin and our recovery ratio from the prior period while keeping a modest G&A platform. We continue to benefit from industry-leading operating efficiency metrics which we define as a combined look at NOI margin and G&A to revenues. To start, our lean corporate culture and intense passion showed no signs of slowing in the first quarter. ![]() As a reminder, core includes our unique company culture, our expectation and deliverance of operational excellence, our diligent path to achieve and maintain a resilient and flexible balance sheet, and lastly executing on these objectives and strategic initiatives that grow shareholder value over the long term. The details of our results can be found in the press release and the supplemental, as I plan to use this call to highlight key milestones and update our investors on our three-year core road map. We started out 2016 accomplishing results above our internal estimates for the quarter. Now I’d like to turn the call over to John.
