AbstractWe produce an estimate for the K-Bessel function $$K_{r + i t}(y)$$
K
r

i

(
y
)
with positive, real argument y and of large complex order $$r+it$$
r
+
i

where r is bounded and $$t = y \sin \theta $$
t
=

or $$t= y \cosh \mu $$

. In particular, we compute the dominant term of the asymptotic expansion of $$K_{r + i t}(y)$$
K

. When t and y are close (or equal), we also give a uniform estimate. As an application of these estimates, we give bounds on the weight-zero (real-analytic) Eisenstein series $$E_0^{(j)}(z, r+it)$$
