Abstract
The luminescence process for proto-objects moving with a peculiar velocity at high redshift is considered. It is shown that some primordial molecules could produce low-frequency photons (which correspond to the rotational lines) by decaying high-frequency rovibration photons from the CBR. Due to the rather different numbers of these photons, a huge enhancement (relative to the pure reflection mechanism) of the emission line intensity from the proto-objects could occur at the appropriate wavelengths.
