Scientific paper

Detailed P Cygni profiles are plotted using data from selected regions of the far-UV spectra of zeta OPh and zeta Pup obtained by the Copernicus satellite. Equivalent widths and velocity shifts of both emission and absorption features are also presented. For zeta Oph, it is found that only the C IV and N V resonance lines exhibit the P Cygni phenomenon; for zeta Pup, the resonance lines of C III, N III, Si IV, C IV, P V, S VI, N V, and O VI all show strong P Cygni lines, although the emission component seems to be absent in N III. For both stars, it is shown that parts of most absorption profiles exceed the escape velocity, indicating mass ejection. The short-wavelength edges of the resonance lines are found to average about -1590 km/s in zeta Oph and about -2660 km/s in zeta Pup, with no significant dependence on ionization potential. It is noted that the equivalent width of the emission component is always considerably less than that of the absorption component, suggesting that absorption occurs close to the stellar surface.
