Abstract
We propose an explicit construction of the leading terms in the asymptotic expansion of the ground state wave function of BFSS SU(N ) matrix quantum mechanics. Our proposal is consistent with the expected factorization property in various limits of the Coulomb branch, and involves a different scaling behavior from previous suggestions. We comment on some possible physical implications.
