The deviation in simulated magnetic mirror point latitude from their respective theoretical value as a function of initial gyro-phase for different equatorial pitch angle. a is for oxygen ion, b is for proton, and c is for electron of energy \(E_k = 5 \text{MeV}\) and \(L= 5\) with initial position \([x_0=L, y_0=0, z_0=0]\). The magnitude of the deviation is shown by the colour bar
