  abstract = {{I}n subduction zones, stress is released by earthquakes and transient aseismic slip. {T}he latter falls into two categories: slow slip and afterslip. {S}low-slip events emerge spontaneously during the interseismic phase, and show a progressive acceleration of slip with a negligible contribution of synchronous tremors or microseismicity to the energy, or moment release(1-12). {I}n contrast, afterslip occurs immediately after large and moderate earthquakes, decelerates over time, and releases between 20 and 400% of the moment released by the preceding earthquake(13-18). {H}ere we use seismic and {GPS} data to identify transient aseismic slip that does not fit into either of these categories. {W}e document a seismic-aseismic slip sequence which occurred at shallow depths along a weakly coupled part of the {A}ndean subduction zone(19) in northern {P}eru and lasted seven months. {T}he sequence generated several moderate earthquakes that together account for about 25% of the total moment released during the full sequence, equivalent to magnitude 6.7. {T}ransient slip immediately followed two of the earthquakes, with slip slowing at a logarithmic rate. {C}onsidered separately, the moment released by transient slip following the second earthquake was more than 1,000% of the moment released during the earthquake itself, a value incompatible with classical models of afterslip. {S}ynchronous seismic swarms and aseismic slipmay therefore definea stress-release process that is distinct from slow-slip events and afterslip.},
