Hot gas distribution in the wind of ζ Pup and ζ Ori

We have developped a new X-ray modelling code based on embedded shocks which computes synthetic spectra as a function of plasma temperature, abundances and localization of the X-ray emitting shell in the wind. We have also included a proper treatment of the radial dependence of the X-ray opacity of the cool matter as well as a treatment forthe Forbiden Inter combination Resonance (FIR) lines of He-like ions. Our code combines several synthetic spectra in order to fit all the lines of an X-ray spectrum simultaneously and coherently. Our results on two O-type stars ζ Pup and ζ Ori reveal non-porous winds with a mass loss rate consistent with studies in the optical domain as well as non-solar abundances for the CNO elements as expected for evolved stars. More important, the X-ray plasma starts emitting close to the stellarsurface. An improved version of our code allowing an analysis of the radial dependence of the hot gas filling factor reveals for ζ Ori a non continuity of the X-ray emission regions associated to high values of the hot gas filling factor.
