1995 - Mori, J., D. J. Wald, and R. l. Wesson: Aftershock catalogs for the 1971 San Fernando and 1994 Northridge, California earthquakes

This special data set contains aftershock catalogs for the San Fernando 1971 and Northridge 1994 earthquakes.
Authors summary: 3-D velocity structure and station corrections were used to relocate 1066 aftershocks from the San Fernando event that occurred during February through April, 1971 plus 2572 aftershocks from the Northridge events that occurred in January and February, 1994. All the phase data are available from the Southern California Earthquake Center Data Center.
The resultant hypocenters for events that were recorded on 6 or more stations and had rms errors of 0.3 sec or less are shown in the figure below.
