Let $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1, a>b$ be an ellipse with foci $F_1$ and $F_2$. Let $AO$ be its semi-minor axis, where $O$ is the centre of the ellipse. The lines $A F_1$ and $A F_2$, when extended, cut the ellipse again at points $B$ and $C$ respectively. Suppose that the $\triangle A B C$ is equilateral. Then, the eccentricity of the ellipse is
