AbstractWe consider time-frequency localization operators $$A_a^{\varphi _1,\varphi _2}$$
A

, and windows $$ \varphi _1, \varphi _2 $$
φ

,
φ

in the Gelfand–Shilov space $$\mathcal {S}^{\left( 1\right) }(\mathbb {R}^d)$$

. If the weights under consideration are of ultra-rapid growth, we prove that the eigenfunctions of $$A_a^{\varphi _1,\varphi _2}$$
A

belongs to a modulation space with appropriately chosen weight functions. As an auxiliary result we also prove new convolution relations for (quasi-)Banach weighted modulation spaces.
