Let \(J_\xi (z)\) denotes the Bessel function of the first kind of order \(\xi .\) For three different kinds of normalizations of \(N_\xi (z)=az^2J_\xi ^{\prime \prime }(z)+bzJ_\xi ^{\prime }(z)+cJ_\xi (z)\) , we find the radius for Ma–Minda classes: \(\mathcal {S}^*\left( \varphi \right)\) -radii and \(\mathcal {C}\left( \varphi \right)\) -radii. We further establish the radii of \(\gamma\) -spirallike of order \(\alpha\) and convex \(\gamma\) -spirallike of order \(\alpha\) of these normalized functions. As an application of our results, we derive sufficient conditions for the \(N_\xi (z)\) to be a member of the unified subclasses of starlike and convex functions. The obtained radii are sharp.
