	abstract = {The 2015\&nbsp;Mw8.3 Coquimbo, Chile earthquake is a typical megathrust earthquake, whose size and coseismic slip distribution are consistent with the interseismic locking model that was derived from GPS measurements. Our preliminary back-projection results show that the rupture of the\&nbsp;Mw8.3 Coquimbo earthquake propagates updip from the hypocenter (~25 km in depth). Furthermore, we find frequency-dependent behavior of the radiation power of the rupture, similar to those observed during the 2010\&nbsp;Mw8.8 Maule earthquake, which occurred ~50 km to the south of the 2015 earthquake rupture area. These observations indicate that there is a systematic downdip variation of properties on the megathrust in southern Chile. The rich observations of the coseismic slip distributions of the 2015\&nbsp;Mw8.3 earthquake provide an excellent opportunity to validate numerical simulations of rupture process based on interseismic locking distributions.},
