Abstract
Let be the Deligne--Rapoport modular stack of elliptic curves endowed with a cyclic rational -isogeny over a number field . Let which are precisely the values for which the coarse moduli space of is isomorphic to . We show that the stacky Batyrev--Manin conjecture [DY24] holds for the naive height on when . In the process, we give a concrete description of as a square root stack over a stacky curve.
