| Summary: | Yogyakarta Special Region is one of the areas with a high level of seismic activity
in Indonesia. One of the most destructive earthquakes was the earthquake on May
27, 2006 with a moment magnitude of 6.3 which was caused by the movement of an
active fault on the ground. At first the Opak fault was thought to be the cause of the
Yogyakarta earthquake, but from several recent studies this earthquake was not
associated with the Opak fault, but there are other faults that have not been
identified to the east of the Opak fault. In this study, we analyzed the waveforms of
aftershocks from 16 station networks while the German Task Force for Earthquakes
(GTF) was installed for 3 months from June-August 2006. The results obtained
2,170 aftershocks from the period 3 - 17 June 2006, delineated by the existence of
the fault is still being debated. From the results of the horizontal and vertical
tomograms, it can be seen that there is a velocity anomaly contrast that indicates
the presence of the fault and is strengthened by the results of the source mechanism
which shows that the fault has a strike-slip fault mechanism in a sinistral direction.
The epicenter distribution at a depth of 9 km has high velocity anomalies of Vp, Vs
and low Vp/Vs ratio associated with igneous intrusion (pyroclastic rock and Oligo-
Miocene volcanic from the Semilir and Nglanggran Formations).
