Scientific paper

In the infrared, as in the optical, the means of reporting source brightnesses and the units employed have varied considerably. In recent years, however, ‘magnitude’ systems have been used less frequently, and the most popular unit for expressing brightnesses, both for point source fluxes and surface brightnesses, is steadily becoming the Jansky. We propose to adopt the Jansky as the standard flux unit for NICMOS in our documentation and in observer-oriented software, and we provide here some simple formulae and tables to facilitate the conversion from other units into Jy.
