Details

The original entire HORUS catalog is provided as a single tab separated ascii file: in HORUS_Ita_Catalog.txt a random second decimal digit is added to ML and Md of the INGV bulletin (ISIDe) before computing Mw proxies (Lolli et al., Seism. Res. Lett., 91, 3208-3222, doi: 10.1785/0220200148), in HORUS_Ita_Catalog_o.txt the original ML and Md are used to compute Mw proxies. ETAS.inlabru includes a reformatted version of the data from HORUS_Ita_Catalog.txt as a data.frame, limited to 1960-2019.

The data are provided as they are, no express or implied warranty is given.
