Popis: We present here evidence for highly ionized Fe observed both in the corona, in the aftermath of a coronal mass ejection, and, after propagation, in situ. The apparent source temperature is greater than 6 MK. To our knowledge, this is the first time that such an unambiguous identification has been made. This detection complements studies correlating other properties of plasma observed in situ to the same properties of the same plasma remotely observed at its source in the corona.
