The Effect of Angular Scattering Imposed by Charge Exchange and Elastic Collisions on Interstellar Neutral Hydrogen Atoms

Angular scattering (AS) in charge exchange and elastic collisions between interstellar ions and neutral (ISN) atoms has been assumed to be negligible in previous studies. Here, we investigate the momentum transfer associated with the AS of H atoms using Monte Carlo calculations to simulate their tra...
