Lensing of standard sirens

Mock catalogues of events used in https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.12764.

For the fiducial scenario, 50 independent realisations of redshifts and lensing magnifications {𝑧,𝜇} of the events are made available, together with a short script to plot the data. Each realisation contains 3000 events.

The mock data are relevant for gravitational waves emitted by merging binary neutron stars measured by the Einstein Telescope, assuming a threshold for the signal-to-noise ratio of 8, and accompanied by an electromagnetic counterpart.
