Scientific paper

This report describes the sensitivity of NICMOS camera 3 (NIC3) to point sources both during the January 1998 "NIC3 Campaign", and outside the campaign. The basic results are given in table 1. Detectability of point sources is increased by 15%±5% at J (1.1 mm) to 25%±5% at H (1.6 mm) but no significant change is seen at long wavelengths (2.2 mm). Because of the undersampled point-spread function, we strongly recommend that observers dither their observations, to increase the chances of faint point sources being observed at least once near the center of a pixel.
