obspy.core.event.source - Classes for handling seismic source characteristics

This module provides a class hierarchy to consistently handle event metadata. This class hierarchy is closely modelled after the de-facto standard format QuakeML.

For handling additional information not covered by the QuakeML standard and how to output it to QuakeML see the ObsPy Tutorial.

Private functions are mainly for internal/developer use and their API might change without notice.

_fullmt takes 6 comp moment tensor and returns full 3x3 moment tensor

Classes

Axis This class describes an eigenvector of a moment tensor expressed in its principal-axes system.
FocalMechanism This class describes the focal mechanism of an event.
MomentTensor This class represents a moment tensor solution for an event.
NodalPlane This class describes a nodal plane using the attributes strike, dip, and rake.
NodalPlanes This class describes the nodal planes of a double-couple moment-tensor solution.
PrincipalAxes This class describes the principal axes of a double-couple moment tensor solution.
SourceTimeFunction Source time function used in moment-tensor inversion.
Tensor The Tensor class represents the six moment-tensor elements Mrr, Mtt, Mpp,
