Abstract: | In the present study, the spatiotemporal properties of the Aigion earthquake (15 June 1995) aftershock sequence are being
studied using the concept of non-extensive statistical physics (NESP). The cumulative distribution functions of the inter-event
times and the inter-event distances are being estimated for the data set which is assumed to be complete and the analysis
yielded the thermodynamic q parameter to be qT = 1.58 and q
r
= 0.53 for the two distributions, respectively. The results fit rather well to the inter-event distances and times distributions,
implying the complexity of the spatiotemporal properties of seismicity and the usefulness of NESP in investigating such phenomena.
The temporal structure is also being discussed using the complementary to NESP approach of superstatistics, which is based
on a superposition of ordinary local equilibrium statistical mechanics. The result indicates that very low degrees of freedom
describe the temporal evolution of the Aigion earthquake aftershock seismicity. |
