Frequency-dependent body-Q and coda-Q in Karlıova Triple Junction and its vicinity, eastern Turkey

A dataset obtained from six broadband stations of 111 small- to moderate-sized local events that occurred between 2010and 2018 was analyzed to reveal the frequency-dependent seismic body (body-Q) and coda (coda-Q) wave attenuation characteristicsof three tectonic branches of the Karlıova Triple Junction: the Varto Fault Zone (VFZ), North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ), and EastAnatolian Fault Zone. The magnitude range was between 2.8 and 6.1 with shallow (
