We use the eikonal equation-based seismic travel-time tomography method to image the source areas of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and the 2013 Lushan earthquake in the Longmenshan fault zone. High-resolution Vₚ and Vₛ models are obtained by inverting 75,686 P-wave and 74,552 S-wave travel times of l...
