Scientific paper

The NICMOS team has devised a comprehensive program of observations of the Galactic Center. The suite of observations include those aimed at measuring proper motions, at determining the spectral type at the tip of the main sequence from the last episode of star formation, at searching for variability near SgrA*, and at looking at the distribution of ionized gas. Data in hand give a first look at variability and a detailed look at the search for the tip of the main sequence will be discussed where NICMOS has demonstrated adequate sensitivity and photometric precision to identify likely O8-B1 stars at the Galactic Center.
