Combining stress transfer and source directivity: the case of the 2012 Emilia seismic sequence Authors 1Vincenzo Convertito*, 2Flaminia Catalli and 3Antonio Emolo *Corresponding author e-mail: vincenzo.convertito@ov.ingv.it. Figure S1 Figure S1: Maps of cumulative CFS Each map represents the cumulative CFS field solved on the preferential focal mechanism and at depth of each main event of Table 1. Cumulative CFS is estimated considering the effect of all the previous events of which locations and focal mechanisms are available3. For the events 2 and 7, for which the fault plane solution is not available, CFS computation has been done by using a mean value of the 22 known focal mechanisms3. On the upper left-side corner of each map is reported the origin time of the target event. Stars represent: the target main events (green); the last acting source in time (red); all the sources considered until the triggering time (yellow). Gray dots represent next seismicity. Figure S2 Figure S2: Probability density functions Marginal probability density functions of the percent unilateral rupture parameter e and rupture direction as inferred from the PGVs inversion procedure20. The different colors correspond to the marginal Pdf for each explored Mach number α, according to the legend in the bottom-right panel. The α-value for the best model is also reported and the corresponding Pdf is shown as thicker line. For each earthquake, the dominant rupture direction corresponds to the absolute maximum of the -Pdf for the best model, while the secondary maximum indentifies the secondary rupture direction.
