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.

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

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, Mrt, Mrp, Mtp in the spherical coordinate system defined by local upward vertical (r), North-South (t), and West-East (p) directions. |
