data frame contains this event and its aftershock sequence.

This data frame contains the following columns:
number of degrees north.
number of degrees east.
depth of event in kilometres.
body wave magnitude (m_b) rounded to one decimal place.
surface wave magnitude (M_s) rounded to one decimal place.
event magnitude (max(m_b, M_s)) rounded to one decimal place.
year of event (numeric vector).
month of event, 1 ... 12 (numeric vector).
day of event, 1 ... 31 (numeric vector).
hour of event, 0 ... 23 (numeric vector).
minute of event, 0 ... 59 (numeric vector).
second of event, 0 ... 59 (numeric vector).
number of days (and fractions) from midnight on 1 January 2004.
The Phuket
data frame contains those events (1248) from the PDE Catalogue, within the spatial region 89degE–105degE and 5degS–16degN, with magnitude 5 or greater, occurring between midnight on 1 January 2004 and midnight on 1 January 2009 (1827 days later). The body wave magnitudes are determined by the amplitude of the initial primary wave, and these magnitudes tend to saturate for higher values. Consequently, the tabulated magnitude
is taken as the maximum of the body wave magnitude (m_b) and surface wave magnitude (M_s).
The data were extracted from the PDE (Preliminary Determination of Epicentres) catalogue provided by the US Geological Survey (https://earthquake.usgs.gov/data/comcat/catalog/us/).
