Abstract
Compton scattering between electrons and photons plays a crucial role in astrophysical plasmas. Many important aspects of this process can be captured by using the so-called Compton scattering kernel. For isotropic media, exact analytic expressions (valid at all electron and photon energies) do exist but are hampered by numerical issues and often are presented in complicated ways. In this paper, we summarize, simplify and improve existing...
