Estimated largest possible brightness temperature $T_{\rm b}$ for *optically thick resonant* lines, and $\upsilon _p(z)$ = $600/\sqrt {1+z}$ km s^-1.
Obs. Freq.	Maximum $\mid T_{\rm b} \mid$ [mK]
[GHz]	z = 10	z = 30	z = 100

Notes. This velocity is typical for clusters while for a smaller mass it could be higher. Note, that these values are the same for all species and transitions.
