Summary
Accurate analytic results are obtained for the condensate fraction and the internal energy of mesoscopic systems of non-interacting Bose particles confined in an axially symmetric harmonic trap. Earlier results for a spherical trap are recovered and numerical illustrations for an experimentally relevant case are given.
