Distribution of aftershocks (black circles) with M > 3.0, after relocation with the double-difference method combined with the master event method. Aftershocks stronger than Ms 5.6 (red circles) are used as master events. Circle size corresponds to earthquake magnitude. The solid red star shows the epicenter of the main shock. The dark gray lines represent the Quaternary active faults (Zhang et al., 2008). Fault names given by abbreviations in boxes are: XSH: Xianshuihe Fault, YLX: Yulongxi Fault, FBH: Fubianhe Fault, MJ: Minjiang Fault, HY: Fuya Fault, DKL: East Kunlun Fault, HQD: Hanan-Qingshanwan Fault, DB: Diebu-Bailongjiang Fault, LRB: Longriba Fault, AB: Aba Fault, QC: Qingchuan Fault, LY: Lueyang-Mianxian Fault, LL: Lixian-Luojiabao Fault, LJ: Lixian-Jiangkou Fault, XQL: West Qingling north boundary Fault, PG: Pengxian-Guanxian Fault, BY: Beichuan-Yingxiu Fault, JGA: Jiangyou-Guanxian Fault, JGU: Jiangyou-Guangyuan Fault, LQS: Longquanshan Fault, CHL: Chaba-Linansi Fault, MW: Maoxian-Wenchuan Fault, MYL: Miyaluo Fault.
