Kilonova.rate_shape(z: float | NDArray[float64]) → float | NDArray[float64]

Return the (trivial, constant) rate shape of kilonovae at a given redshift.

Parameters:

z (float or array-like) – Redshift(s) at which to evaluate the rate shape.

Returns:

Ones, since the kilonova rate is constant in \(z\) (Fishbach et al. 2026).

Return type:

float or array-like
