Slip distribution models for a the Hinagu fault and b the local fault beneath Mashiki town. The arrows show slip vectors of the hanging wall. The contour interval is 20 cm. Stars represent hypocenters projected on the fault plane for M j 6.5 and M j 6.4 events. The position of the fault plane is shown in Fig. 2. Error ellipses show 68% confidence levels. c Focal mechanism estimated from moment tensor components. (1) Focal mechanism for both M j 6.5 and M j 6.4 events. The moment tensors determined by JMA (2016b) are used. (2) Focal mechanism estimated from distributed slip model of the Hinagu fault alone. (3) Focal mechanism estimated from distributed slip models of both the Hinagu fault and the local fault beneath Mashiki town. The mechanisms are estimated assuming a point source
