property LuminousFastBlueOpticalTransient.effective_volume: Quantity#

\(\mathcal V\), the all-sky rate-weighted comoving volume.

Depends only on rate_shape, cosmology, and redshift_limit – not on rate – so, unlike rate, it carries no rate-normalization uncertainty; see Yield Statistics. Derived from integrated_rate (the per-steradian, \(R_0\)-normalized quantity) by dividing out rate and restoring the \(4\pi\) sky factor, rather than retabulating.
