In a previous paper we introduced and developed a recursive construction of joint eigenfunctions J N (a + , a − , b; x, y) for the Hamiltonians of the hyperbolic relativistic Calogero-Moser system with arbitrary particle number N . In this paper we focus on the cases N = 2 and N = 3, and establish a number of conjectured features of the corresponding joint eigenfunctions. More specifically, choosing a + , a − positive, we prove that J 2 (b; x, y) and J 3 (b; x, y) extend to globally meromorphic functions that satisfy various invariance properties as well as a duality relation. We also obtain detailed information on the asymptotic behavior of similarity transformed functions E 2 (b; x, y) and E 3 (b; x, y). In particular, we determine the dominant asymptotics for y 1 − y 2 → ∞ and y 1 − y 2 , y 2 − y 3 → ∞, resp., from which the conjectured factorized scattering can be read off.
