        abstract = {Proposed in the 1950's, B{\r a}th's law states that the largest aftershock has a magnitude that is typically 1.2 less than that of the mainshock. Thirty years of the global earthquake catalog allow us to extend B{\r a}th's law in time, space and focal mechanism. On average, reverse faults have a smaller magnitude and distance from the mainshock to largest aftershock than strike?slip faults. The distribution of the time intervals between mainshocks and their largest aftershocks obeys power law, but with a somewhat faster rate of decay than for aftershocks, in general. This implies that the largest aftershocks are more likely to occur earlier rather than later in a given sequence of aftershocks.}
