It is shown that the central spike term, ($m^2-1/4)/r^2$, plays a distinctive role in determining the spectral properties of the above problem. The study is carried out for a wide range of the Coulomb coupling strength $λ$ relative to the confinement.18 pages Latex file, i ps figure, submitted for publicationSoft Condensed MatterOn the correlation energies for two interacting electrons in a parabolic quantum dottext
