Abstract
A comprehensive assessment of aftershocks occurrence for the November 26th, 2019 earthquake, ML=6.3, 16 km north of Durrës, Albania was achieved. b-value was estimated as 0.88 ±0.07. b-value is close to 1.0 and relatively small b-value may be resulted from the plenty of larger aftershocks with ML4.0. p-value was calculated as 1.23±0.08 with Mmin=3.1 and Tstart=0.0034 days. This high p-value may be a result of the relative fast decay rate of aftershock activity. Dc-value was calculated as 1.74±0.09 and it means that aftershocks are homogeneously distributed at larger scales. The smallest b-values and the largest p-values were observed in the north, northwest and northeast parts of the mainshock. The smaller b-values correlate with the larger stress variations, whereas the larger p-values are related to the maximum slip after mainshock. Consequently, region-time-magnitude analyses of the aftershocks occurrence may supply important clues for the fast evaluations of real time aftershock hazard.
