Figure 1: Left: combination of the 4 calibrated images from the F160W filter data set obtained with the HST/NICMOS-2, the grey scale going from 0% (black) to 3.2% (white) of the maximum intensity; Right: combination of the 8 calibrated images from the F180M filter data set obtained with the HST/NICMOS-2, the grey scale going from 0% (black) to 4.7% (white) of the maximum intensity. The structure of the PSF is obvious. North is to the top and East to the left. |

Figure 2: PSF constructed by the Tiny Tim software for one of the frames in each set. We can easily see the spikes and the complex structure of the NIC-2 PSFs whatever the filter. Left: F160W, the grey scale goes from 0% (black) to 0.13% (white) of the peak intensity; Right: F180M, the grey scale goes from 0% (black) to 0.16% (white) of the peak intensity. |

Figure 3: Results of the simultaneous deconvolution for the F160W data set using a deconvolved Tiny Tim PSF. Left: deconvolved image, the grey scale going from 0% (black) to 0.45% (white) of the maximum intensity. Right: residuals (see text) of the deconvolution. The remnant structure around each point sources is obvious. |

Figure 4: Corrections applied to the PSFs at different stages of the process for one of the images of the F160W data set. The grey scale goes from -2.6% (black) to +2.6% (white) of the peak intensity of the deconvolved Tiny Tim PSF. Top left: corrections to the PSF in the first iteration (starting from the deconvolved Tiny Tim PSF). Top right: corrections at the second iteration. Bottom left: corrections at the fourth iteration. Bottom right: corrections at the last iteration. |

Figure 5: Corrections applied to the PSFs at different stages of the process for one of the images of the F180M data set. The grey scale goes from -4.8% (black) to +4.8% (white) of the peak intensity of the deconvolved Tiny Tim PSF. Left: corrections to the PSF in the first iteration (starting from the deconvolved Tiny Tim PSF). Right: corrections at the last iteration. |

Figure 6: Final results of the simultaneous deconvolution for the F160W data set. North is to the top and East to the left. Top left: smooth background common to all images of the set where the lensing galaxy is encircled. Top right: deconvolved image (point sources plus smooth background); the point sources are labelled as in Magain et al. (1988). Bottom left: mean residual map of the simultaneous deconvolution. Bottom right: image reconvolved to the instrument resolution, with the point sources removed. |
