Abstract:
    We have obtained images of the Trapezium Cluster (140"x140";
    0.3pc x 0.3pc) with the Hubble Space Telescope Near-Infrared Camera
    and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS). Combining these data with new
    ground-based K-band spectra (R=800) and existing spectral types and
    photometry, we have constructed an H-R diagram and used it and other
    arguments to infer masses and ages.

Note (1): Individual notes:
           g: Member of a binary system that is resolved in the optical
               measurements while unresolved in the IR photometry.
           h: The spectral type assigned to source 97 applies to the composite
               system of 97, 100, and 101.
           i: Within a diffraction spike.

           k: Optical measurement listed for TCC046 probably includes both
               TCC039 and TCC046.
           l: Optical measurement listed for TCC073 includes both
               TCC070 and TCC073.

Note (3): The spectral type, K-band continuum veiling, and CO band head strength
           measured from the K-band spectra. The veiling at K is defined as
           r_{K}_=I2.2(IR excess)/I2.2(star), which is estimated from the
           spectra.  The strength of the CO band head is given as a percentage
           increase in CO absorption over that of a dwarf of the same spectral
           type.
Note (4): Blank entries indicate sources that are saturated or are too close to
           bright stars to be measured. The one exception is TCC003, which is
           not detected in the NICMOS data.
