Fig. 3: Source characteristics comparison between simulated ruptures and LFEs in Parkfield.
From: The slow self-arresting nature of low-frequency earthquakes
The duration, slip, slip rate, stress drop and seismic moment magnitudes are compared. Pink strips denote the estimated source parameters ranges for LFEs in Parkfield, and colored dots show the results of numerical simulated earthquakes. Different dot colors represent different simulated rupture patch diameters, while different dot shapes show different types of ruptures in simulations. The blue, green, orange, and yellow dots denote simulated earthquakes with rupture diameter 300 m, 260 m, 220 m, and 180 m, respectively. The circles, diamonds and stars denote the sub-Rayleigh earthquakes, self-arresting earthquakes, and slow self-arresting earthquakes, respectively. In addition, the red dashed rectangles show the ranges where the source parameters of simulated earthquakes match those of LFEs.
