The full Coulomb interaction between radiating ions and perturbing electrons is included in the calculation of Lyman-series spectral line profiles emitted by highly ionized hydrogenic radiators in a dense, hot plasma. Profiles from this calculation and from a similar calculation based on the dipole approximation for the radiator-perturber interaction are compared over a range of plasma densities. The significance of inelastic collisions between the radiator and perturbing electrons is also examined.
