Seismicity gaps and the shape of the seismic zone in the Banda Sea region from relocated hypocenters

We relocate hypocenters for more than 800 earthquakes deeper than 50 km with mb ≳ 5.0, along the Banda arc, using several thousand handpicked direct, depth, and core-reflected phases, in addition to phases reported by the International Seismological Centre. The seismicity distribution is found to be...
