ABSTRACT: We consider a constrained variational problem where the energy functional includes a logarithmic convolution term and an external potential
(

. There is a threshold
a
*
∈(
0,∞
)
that we establish existence and nonexistence results for constraint minimizers: for
a<
a
*
, minimizers exist for any
γ≠0
; for
a>
a
*
with
γ≠0
and
a=
a
*
with
γ>0
, no minimizer exists. Furthermore, for
γ>0
and
a↗
a

, we analyze the limiting behavior of positive minimizers, showing that after suitable scaling, they converge to the standard ground state solution
