Hi,

Does gaussian basis functions correspond to the real atomic functions?
I tried to run hydrogen atom in dft theory and then checked the eigen-functions.

The basis I used is:
Summary of "ao basis" -> "" (spherical)

H aug-cc-pVDZ 5 9 3s2p


The final molecular orbital analysis is:
Vector    1  Occ=1.000000D+00  E=-4.993343D-01
MO Center= 8.9D-18, 2.5D-18, 1.3D-18, r^2= 8.5D-01

The hydrogen atom has just one electron populating the 1s atomic orbitals,
But why does the 2s gaussian basis function has contributions in the lowest level?
