Title: | How Long is an Aftershock Sequence? | Journal: | Pure and Applied Geophysics | Series/Report no.: | /173(2016) | Publisher: | Springer International Publishing | Issue Date: | 2016 | DOI: | 10.1007/s00024-016-1276-1 | Keywords: | Seismic Moment Aftershock Sequence Sequence Duration Magnitude Class |
Abstract: | The occurrence of a mainschok is always followed by aftershocks spatially distributed within the fault area. The aftershocks rate decay with time is described by the empirical Omori law which was inferred by catalogues analysis. The sequences discrimination within catalogues is not a straightforward operation, especially for low-magnitude mainshocks. Here, we describe the rate decay of the Omori law obtained using different sequence discrimination tools and we discover that, when the background seismicity is excluded, the sequences tend to last for the temporal extension of the catalogue. |
