We resolve Manin's conjecture for all Châtelet surfaces over Q
(surfaces given by equations of the form x^2 + ay^2 = f(z)) -- in other
words, we establish asymptotics for the number of rational points of
increasing height. The key analytic ingredient is estimating sums of
Fourier coefficients of modular forms along polynomial values.
