The period lattice is rectangular, so the Omega in the BSD is twice
the least real period.

sage:  E=EllipticCurve([0,0,0,-3,1])
sage: E.global_minimal_model()
Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 - 3*x + 1 over Rational Field
sage: s = E.sha().an()
sage: s
1
sage: E.period_lattice().basis()
(2.17755142623757, 1.88697504100100*I)

sage: E.period_lattice().omega()
4.35510285247513
