The positive-domain graph starts with limiting value and limiting slope , then decreases towards the horizontal asymptote , with for large . In fact direct differentiation givesThe first inequality follows from for . Thus the graph is strictly decreasing and convex upward, with and no stationary points. The integral representation also shows its positivity.
These properties belong to the reusable exponential spherical mass factor.
