3C 84 (NGC 1275, Per A); z=0.017559

The central galaxy of the Perseus cluster contains an FR I radio source and Seyfert 2 nucleus at the centre of a cooling flow. It shows a large number of companion sources in the infrared, and a complicated dust morphology in the optical-IR. The NICMOS data was first published by  [Martini et al.2003]. Only the central region is visible in the NIC2 image. We used the F702W image from [Martel et al.1999] to estimate the background. However, due to the immense size of this cD galaxy, even the full WFPC2 mosaic (PROPOSID 6228) does not detect the edge of the galaxy, and the results are photometrically uncertain.
