Abstract: We consider the semilinear Lane-Emden problem �egin{equation}label{problemAbstract} left{�egin{array}{lr}-Delta u= |u|^{p-1}uqquad mbox{ in }B u=0qquadqquadqquadmbox{ on }partial B end{array} ight. ag{$mathcal{E}_p$} end{equation} where $B$ is the unit ball of $mathbb{R}^N$, $Ngeq2$, centered at the origin and $1<p<p_S$, with $p_S=+infty$ if $N=2$ and $p_S=fracN+2N-2$ if $Ngeq3$. Our main result is to prove that in dimension $N=2$ the Morse index of the least energy sign-changing radial solution $u_p$ of eqref{problemAbstract} is exactly $12$ if $p$ is sufficiently large. As an intermediate step we compute explicitly the first eigenvalue of a limit weighted problem in $mathbb{R}^N$ in any dimension $Ngeq2$.
