Generate a population of KNe events, and put the info about them into a UserPointSlicer object

Parameters:

t_startfloat (1)

The night to start kilonova events on (days)

t_endfloat (3652)

The final night of kilonova events

n_eventsint (10000)

The number of kilonova events to generate

seedfloat

The seed passed to np.random

n_filesint (308)

The number of different kilonova lightcurves to use This should match the length of the filenames list passed to the KNePopMetric directly.

d_minfloat or int (10)

Minimum luminosity distance (Mpc)

d_maxfloat or int (300)

Maximum luminosity distance (Mpc)

ra, decnp.array (None)

The ra and dec to use for event positions. Generates uniformly on the spehere if None. (degrees)
