“…Several faults have been identified in the source area, and the aftershock sequence developed in different directions, in particular toward the northwest (Chiaraluce et al, 2011;Valoroso et al, 2013). This suggests the possible activation of more than one fault segment, as proposed in the study of Falcucci et al (2009), EMERGEO Working Group (2010), and Vittori et al (2011). To address this important issue, we tested models with different degrees of complexity grounded on known faults, and we analyzed the extent to which these compound models allowed an improvement of the data modeling with respect to the simplest model in which the rupture was restricted to the Paganica fault.…”

“…Although there is a general agreement on the recognition of thẽ 3 km-long primary coseismic ruptures, depending on whether or not all the discontinuous ruptures are interpreted as evidence of coseismic slip on the causative fault at depth, the estimated surface faulting total length ranges between 3 and 19 km (Boncio et al, 2010;EMERGEO Working Group, 2010;Falcucci et al, 2009;Galli et al, 2010;Gori et al, 2012;Vittori et al, 2011).…”

“…The location of this fault coincides with a complex fault system bounding to the east the Middle Aterno Valley (hereinafter referred to as 2009-earthquake fault system). Primary, continuous coseismic surface ruptures (0.15 m of throw and~0.1 m of opening) were observed for about 3 km (EMERGEO Working Group, 2010;Vittori et al, 2011) along the northern portion of this system (Paganica fault - Fig. 2), and occurred along pre-existing composite fault scarps, affecting mainly Quaternary deposits, with throws of tens of meters and lengths of several km .…”
