Profiles of the singly ionized strontium resonance line at 421.6 nm (4p
2P1/2--4s
2S1/2) which are collisionally broadened by argon have been measured from the line core to near-wing region (within the distance of \ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\lesssim}50 ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$ from the line center). The observed broadening rate of the core is (1.87\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.25)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}20}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$/${\mathrm{cm}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}3}$ at 690 K. A clearly asymmetric profile has been observed in the wing region. These results are discussed by considering semiclassical impact and quasistatic theories combined with theoretical interaction potentials for the
Sr+-Ar pair which were previously reported by the present authors.
