We present high-resolution near-infrared images of the Seyfert 2 galaxy IC 5063 obtained using the NearInfraredCamera and Multiobject Spectrometer (NICMOS) in broadband filters at 1.1, 1.6, and 2.2 mm(FWHM#00.21at2.2mm). The images show a very red, unresolved point source at the center of the galaxy,confirming the existence of the obscured active nucleus inferred from previous ground-based studies. The 2.2mm flux, supplemented with ground-based L9-band observations, suggests thermal ...
