    The attenuation in Southeastern Sicily has been investigated using 40aftershocks of the December 13 1990, earthquake. The quality factor ofcoda waves (Qc) was estimated in the frequency range 1.5–24 Hz,applying three different methods in time and frequency domains. On thewhole, a clear dependence of Qc on frequency was observed,according to the general law Q = Q0(f/f0)n . Thefrequency dependence relationships

    Body-wave observations from 15 microearthquakes (ML=0.8 to 2.5) occurring in Southeastern Sicily during two swarm sequences were analyzed to resolve the attenuation and earthquake source parameters. Two different approaches were used: an empirical Green's function technique in the time domain and a combined inversion for spectral parameters and attenuation characteristics by using the Simplex Downhill method (Nelder and Mead, 1965).
