The static dipole, quadrupole, and octupole polarizabilities of helium are
calculated for the four Rydberg series 1 sns S-1, 1 sns S-3, 1 snp P-1, and
1 snp P-3 with n up to 10, using variational wave functions in Hylleraas c
oordinates. The large-n expansions for polarizabilities are presented for t
hese series.
