We calculate the (semi-)static hard-loop self-energy and propagator using the Keldysh formalism in a momentum-space anisotropic quark-gluon plasma. The static retarded, advanced, and Feynman (symmetric) self-energies and propagators are calculated to all orders in the momentum-space anisotropy parameter ξ. For the retarded and advanced self-energies/propagators, we present a concise derivation and comparison with previouslyobtained results and extend the calculation of the self-energies to next-to-leading order in the gluon energy, ω. For the Feynman self-energy/propagator, we present new results which are accurate to all orders in ξ. We compare our exact results with prior expressions for the Feynman self-energy/propagator which were obtained using Taylor-expansions around an isotropic state. Here, we show that, unlike the Taylor-expanded results, the all-orders expression for the Feynman propagator is free from infrared singularities. Finally, we discuss the application of our results to the calculation of the imaginary-part of the heavy-quark potential in an anisotropic quark-gluon plasma.
