Abstract: We compute the Morse index of nodal radial solutions to the H'enon problem [left{�egin{array}{ll} -Delta u = |x|^{alpha}|u|^{p-1} u qquad & ext{ in } B,

ewline u= 0 & ext{ on } partial B, end{array} ight. ] where B stands for the unit ball in mathbbRN in dimension Nge3, alpha>0 and p is near at the threshold exponent for existence of solutions palpha=fracN+2+2alphaN2, obtaining that �egin{align*} m(u_p) & = m sumlimits_{j=0}^{1+left[{alpha}/{2} ight]} N_j quad & mbox{ if alpha is not an even integer, or}

ewline m(u_p)& = msumlimits_{j=0}^{ alpha /2} N_j + (m-1) N_{1+alpha/ 2} & mbox{ if alpha is an even number.} end{align*} Here Nj denotes the multiplicity of the spherical harmonics of order j. The computation builds on a characterization of the Morse index by means of a one dimensional singular eigenvalue problem, and is carried out by a detailed picture of the asymptotic behavior of both the solution and the singular eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. In particular it is shown that nodal radial solutions have multiple blow-up at the origin, where each node converges (up to a suitable rescaling) to the bubble shaped solution of a limit problem. As side outcome we see that solutions are nondegenerate for p near at palpha, and we give an existence result in perturbed balls.
