Abstract: Lommel's function $s_{\mu ,\nu }(z)$ is a particular solution of the differential equation $z^{2}y'' + zy' + (z^{2}-\nu ^{2})y = z^{\mu +1}$ . Here we present estimates and monotonicity properties of the positive zeros of $s_{\mu -1/2,1/2}(z)$ when $\mu \in (0,1)$ . The positivity of a closely related integral is also considered.
