The Ninglang—Yanyuan MS5.7 earthquake that occurred on June 24,2012 caused certain death and property loss.To explore seismogenic tectonic of this earth-quake,we used regional broadband seismic records based on velocity model extracted from Crust Model 2.0 to invert focal mechanism with cut and pastemily: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">(CAPmily: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">) method.The strikes,dips,rakes of best focal mechanism solutions are 189mily: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">°/59mily: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">°/-40mily: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">°and 302mily: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">°/55mily: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">°/-141mily: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">°,respectively.It is a Mw 5.4 normal dominant event with strike slip component.The centorid depth provided by CAP method is 4 km.Two other models were employed to better understand errors introduced by velocity model.The mechanisms and magnitudes are similar,while centroid depths range from 4 km to 6 km which are much shallower than results based on traveltime.sPL phase recorded by LGH and pP phases recorded by Australian seismic stations confirmed that the centorid depth is between 4mily: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">~8 km.North-West distribution of short term aftershocks mily: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">(two days after mainshockmily: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">) suggests that this earthquake occurred at Yongning Fault.
