A high resolution K-band (2.2 μm) image of the Galactic center was acquired as part of an effort to develop computer simulations of a lunar occultation of the IRS 16 region that was previously observed in 1986 September. Through our computer simulations and recent observations of another occultation that occurred in 1988 September, confident identifications of the objects detected during the 1986 September occultation were acquired. In particular, IRS 16C, 16SW, and 16NE were all identified and found to be unresolved (<0.05″ in angular extent).

AbstractWe have obtained high-resolution F110W (~ J) and F160W (~ H) band observations of ten submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) with the Hubble Space Telescope's NICMOS camera, in order to resolve their rest-frame optical morphologies, determine the existence of multiple-component, merger-like configurations, and estimate their stellar masses. The selected targets have redshifts in the range 2.2≤ z ≤ 2.81 confirmed with millimeter or mid-IR spectroscopy, guaranteeing that the two bands sample the galaxies' rest-frame optical light with the Balmer break falling between them.
