Source decay rate to mimic a triangle source time function.
We mimic a triangle of half duration equal to half_duration_triangle using a Gaussian having a very close shape, as explained in Figure 4.2 of the manual. This source decay rate to mimic an equivalent triangle was found by trial and error.
Note
From globalcmt.org: The source duration is generally estimated using an empirically determined relationship such that the duration increases as the cube root of the scalar moment. Specifically, we currently use a relationship where the half duration for an event with moment 10**24 is 1.05 seconds, and for an event with moment 10**27 is 10.5 seconds.
