a Map of focal region with epicenters of the mainshock (red star) and largest aftershock (green star), their focal mechanisms from USGS-NEIC, and seismographic stations (red triangles). Dashed line indicates the main Himalayan thrust belt from Lave and Avouac (2000). The seismographic array is located in the northern part of the Himalayan main thrust fault. b Number of daily and cumulative aftershocks for one month from the mainshock. No magnitude cutoff was operated. Increased number on May 12, 2015 was due to the largest aftershock. c One-dimensional P-wave velocity structure beneath the Kathmandu seismographic array estimated from this study is shown by solid line. Values of resolution matrix for each layer are also shown. Dashed line and data for depths greater than 24 km are from Monsalve et al. (2006)
