In the equianharmonic case of the Weierstrass elliptic function, corresponding to invariants g_2=0 and g_3=1, the corresponding real half-period is given by

omega_2=(Gamma^3(1/3))/(4pi)
(1)
=1.529954037...
(2)

(Sloane's A064582), where Gamma(z) is the gamma function. The other half-period is then given by

omega_1=1/2omega_2(1+isqrt(3))
(3)
=((1+isqrt(3))Gamma^3(1/3))/(8pi)
(4)
=0.764977...+1.324979...i
(5)

(Sloane's A094961 and A094962).
