The author deals with a special class of partial differential operators having the form of sums of squares of two vector fields in $$\mathbb{R}^ 3$$. The coefficients are supposed to be real-analytic. It is well known that this class is $$C^ \infty$$ hypoelliptic. The author proves here that the operators under consideration are not analytic hypoelliptic. To do this a very precise asymptotic analysis of a two-parameter family of ordinary differential equations is proposed. This paper is a continuation of some previous investigations of Christ as well as of some investigations of Hanges-Himonas.
