  abstract = {{I}n this paper, we obtain an accurate estimation of the rupture velocity of the 6 {A}pril 2009 {M}-w 6.3 {L}'{A}quila earthquake ({C}entral {A}pennines) by analyzing its apparent source time functions ({ASTF}s). {T}hese {ASTF}s have been extracted by deconvolving an empirical {G}reen's function ({EGF}) at seismic stations located 200-800 km from the earthquake. {F}rom the study of duration, shape, and directivity of {ASTF}s at numerous and well-distributed stations, we show that the area between the two main slip patches of the earthquake ruptured at a relatively slow velocity (1: 6 km/s). {W}e next validate simultaneously the {ASTF}s and the slip model independently obtained through the joint inversion of strong-motion, broadband teleseismic, {G}lobal {P}ositioning {S}ystem, and {I}nterferometric {S}ynthetic {A}perture {R}adar data. {T}he good agreement in shape and duration between the observed and theoretical {ASTF}s is an indication for the reliability of the inferred source model and for the robustness of the rupture velocity estimations of this study.},
