* indicates values we have calculated based on what is reported by the original authors. Note: The average static stress drop is estimated by assuming Mo=μD A, Δσ=16/(3π)*μD /W, and L=2W for a rectangular fault.           The average rupture velocity is calculated by dividing the rupture length by the event duration. In Figure 3, the data for a slow-earthquake sequence in Japan (plus symbol) is from the courtesy of S. Ide (see Ide et al., 2008). The short-term slow slip events (small open circles) are from the table by Sekine et al. (2010).
