Aims. Inelastic processes in low-energy Ca + H and Ca+ + H- collisions are treated for the states from the ground state up to the ionic state with the aim to provide rate coefficients needed for non-LTE modeling of Ca in cool stellar atmospheres. Methods. The electronic molecular structure was determined using a recently proposed model approach that is based on an asymptotic method. Nonadiabatic nuclear dynamics were treated by means of multichannel formulas, based on the Landau-Zener model for nonadiabatic transition probabilities. Results. The cross sections and rate coefficients for inelastic processes in Ca + H and Ca+ + H- collisions were calculated for all transitions between 17 low-lying covalent states plus the ionic state. It is shown that the highest rate coefficient values correspond to the excitation, de-excitation, ion-pair formation, and mutual neutralization processes involving the Ca(4s5s S-1,S- 3) and the ionic Ca+ + H- states. The next group with the second highest rate coefficients includes the processes involving the Ca(4s5p P-1,P- 3), Ca(4s4d (1,3D)), and Ca(4s4p P-1) states. The processes from these two groups are likely to be important for non-LTE modeling.
