contents In this paper we discuss the analytical properties of the binary collision integral for a gas of ultrarelativistic particles interacting via a constant cross-section. Starting from a near-equilibrium expansion over a complete basis of irreducible tensors in momentum space we compute the linearized collision matrices analytically. Using these results we then numerically compute all transport-coefficients of relativistic fluid dynamics with various power-counting schemes that are second-order in Knudsen and/or inverse Reynolds numbers. Furthermore, we also exactly compute the leading-order contribution with respect to the particle mass to the coefficient of bulk viscosity, the relaxation time, and other second-order transport coefficients of the bulk viscous pressure.
