  Coronal mass ejection spray plasma associated with the M1.5-class flare of 16
February 2011 is found to exhibit a Doppler blue-shift of 850 km/s - the
largest value yet reported from ultraviolet (UV) or extreme ultraviolet (EUV)
spectroscopy of the solar disk and inner corona. The observation is unusual in
that the emission line (Fe XII 193.51 A) is not observed directly, but the
Doppler shift is so large that the blue-shifted component appears in a
wavelength window at 192.82 A, intended to observe lines of O V, Fe XI and Ca
XVII. The Fe XII 195.12 A emission line is used as a proxy for the rest
component of 193.51 A. The observation highlights the risks of using narrow
wavelength windows for spectrometer observations when observing highly-dynamic
solar phenomena. The consequences of large Doppler shifts for ultraviolet solar
spectrometers, including the upcoming Multi-slit Solar Explorer (MUSE) mission,
are discussed.
