OK, here's my profiles. They look rather more sharp around the peak, than in the PPT slide. Any suggestions? FYI, I've got the following parameters for the smooth model:

R_star = 10 R_sun
R_wind = 20 R_star (this is the nominal outer wind boundary)

beta = 1.0
v_inf = 2000 km/s
kappa = 100 g cm-2

Delta-function emission line profile

R_0 = 1.5 R_star
q = 0.0

cheers,

Rich
