Extended Data Fig. 1: Synthetic BPs of rupture with realistic slip distribution and constant rupture speeds.
From: Global frequency of oceanic and continental supershear earthquakes
The assumed slip models are displayed on the top of each case. Four cases are shown: ruptures with the slip model of the 2013 Mw 7.3 South Sandwich Island earthquake (Hayes, 2017) and constant rupture speed of 3 km/s (top left) and 5 km/s (top right); ruptures with the slip model of the 2009 Mw 7.3 Caribbean earthquake (Hayes, 2017) and constant rupture speed of 3 km/s (bottom left) and 5 km/s (bottom right). Both the shadowing artifact and the tailing artifact are highlighted. To analyze the shadowing artifact, we plot the moment-time function (green curve) and the gradient of the moment-time function (black curve; dashed lines are the absolute value of the negative gradients of the moment-time function). See Supplementary Information for further discussion.
