property LuminousFastBlueOpticalTransient.integrated_rate: Quantity#

Expected event rate per observer time and solid angle.

Integrate the intrinsic volumetric rate \(R(z)\) over the population’s redshift domain:

\[\mathcal R_\Omega = \int_0^{z_{\max}} \frac{R(z)}{1+z} \frac{dV_c}{dz\,d\Omega}\,dz.\]

Here, \(R(z)\) is defined per comoving volume and source-frame time. The factor \((1+z)^{-1}\) converts the rate to observer-frame time.

This rate includes no survey footprint or detection selection. Its units are equivalent to \(\mathrm{yr}^{-1}\,\mathrm{sr}^{-1}\).
