Magnitude Vs. Time Plot

(top)

This plot shows the magnitude vs. time evolution of the sequence. The mainshock is ploted as a brown circle, foreshocks are plotted as magenta circles, and aftershocks are plotted as cyan circles.

Aftershock Locations

(top)

Map view of the aftershock sequence, plotted as cyan circles. The mainshock and foreshocks are plotted below in brown and magenta circles respectively, but may be obscured by aftershocks. Nearby UCERF3 fault traces are plotted in gray lines, and the region used to fetch aftershock data in a dashed dark gray line.

Cumulative Number Plot

(top)

This plot shows the cumulative number of M≥0 aftershocks as a function of time since the mainshock.

Magnitude-Number Distributions (MNDs)

(top)

These plot shows the magnitude-number distribution of the aftershock sequence thus far. The left plot gives an incremental distribution (the count in each magnitude bin), and the right plot a cumulative distribution (the count in or above each magnitude bin).
