Scientific paper

A brief summary is presented of requirements for the measurements of extragalactic γ-ray lines. The electron-positron annihilation line at 511 keV represents the best prospect, and although this line is greatly broadened in active galactic nuclei, a narrow line should be present in clusters of galaxies and radio lobes as a result of prior AGN activity. The strongest fluxes should be of the order of 10-4 photons cm-2 s-1 from the closest extended sources.
