We present a general solution for the radiation intensity in front of a purely absorbing slab moving toward an observer at constant speed and with a constant temperature. The solution is obtained by integrating the lab-frame radiation transport equation through the slab to the observer. We present comparisons between our benchmark and results from the Kull simulation code for an aluminum slab moving toward the observer at 2 demonstrate that ignoring certain material motion correction terms in the transport equation can lead to 20-80 as the frequency resolution is improved. Our results also indicate that our benchmark can identify potential errors in the implementation of material motion corrections.
