The Azua cluster is named for the city of Azua de Compostela on the
south coast of the Dominican Republic. The cluster contains several
earthquakes with magnitude greater than 5.0 but nothing larger than
M5.5. The local network was sparse prior to 2013 but is quite good since
then. The older events have depth constraint from teleseismic depth
phases, the recent ones have depth constraint from near-source and
local-distance readings. All events are recorded to at least
far-regional distances, and most are recorded teleseismically.
