We derive simple analytical approximations of the first few eigenstates of the associated time-independent one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation and their energies. Our results are excited state generalizations of the Thomas-Fermi approximation of the ground state.4 pages, 4 ps-figuresCondensed MatterExcited stationary states of trapped Bose-Einstein condensatestext
