The Aceh-Sumatra 2004 earthquake strongly excited the Earth's free oscillations. Well separated split multiplets provide useful information on the earthquake source. Particularly, the phases of split singlets constrain the duration, rupture length and mean rupture velocity. We analyze the initial phases of some of the Earth's gravest free oscillations (0S2, 0S3, 0S0 and 1S0) in order to constrain the space-time finiteness of the source. We use recordings of vertical broadband seismometers and superconducting gravimeters from several worldwide geophysical networks. We estimate a rupture length of about 1220 km, a source time duration of about 500 s, and a mean rupture velocity of 2.4 km/s.
