NICMOS Imaging of Infrared-Luminous Galaxies
N. Z. Scoville,Aaron S. Evans,Aaron S. Evans,Rodger I. Thompson,Marcia J. Rieke,Dean C. Hines,Frank J. Low,N. Dinshaw,Jason Surace,Lee Armus +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented near-infrared images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS camera for a sample of nine luminous [LIGs: LIR(8?1000?m)? 1011 L?] and 15 ultraluminous (ULIGS:LIR? 1012 L?) infrared galaxies.

Measuring Distances and Probing the Unresolved Stellar Populations of Galaxies Using Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuations
Joseph B. Jensen,John L. Tonry,Brian J. Barris,Rodger I. Thompson,Michael C. Liu,Marcia J. Rieke,Edward A. Ajhar,John P. Blakeslee +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured fluctuations in 65 galaxies using NICMOS on the Hubble Space Telescope to calibrate the IR surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) distance scale and probe the properties of unresolved stellar populations.
