Profile: A code for evaluating line profile shapes for optically thick expanding plasmas

Title of program: PROFILE
Catalogue Id: AARK_v1_0

Nature of problem
The shape of a spectral line profile emitted from a plasma can be a sensitive indicator of the parameters of the plasma. Traditionally, optically thin profiles have been used for plasma measurements, but optically thick profiles are now increasingly being investigated as diagnostics for dense (e.g. laser-produced plasmas) or large (e.g. the solar corona) plasmas.
