ABSTRACT:
A suite of diffraction-limited observations of the central parsec
taken with Camera 1 (11'' FOV) of NICMOS is presented. The search
for Sgr A* at 1.6 microns is discussed, as well as an exploration
of possible short-term variability that could be expected from
an inhomegeneity in the accretion flow. High-resolution NICMOS
Pa alpha and [FeII] images illustrating the complex morphology
of the ionized gas in the region are also presented.
