# spacepy.irbempy.find_Bmirror

spacepy.irbempy.find_Bmirror(ticks, loci, alpha, extMag='T01STORM', options=[1, 0, 0, 0, 0], omnivals=None)

  call find_mirror_point from irbem library and return a dictionary with values for Blocal, Bmirr and the GEO (cartesian) coordinates of the mirror point

  Parameters:
    ticks Ticktock class

      containing time information

    loci Coords class

      containing spatial information

    alpha array-like

      containing the pitch angles

    extMag str

      optional; will choose the external magnetic field model possible values [‘0’, ‘MEAD’, ‘T87SHORT’, ‘T87LONG’, ‘T89’, OPQUIET’, ‘OPDYN’, ‘T96’, ‘OSTA’, ‘T01QUIET’, ‘T01STORM’, ‘T05’, ‘ALEX’, ‘TS07’]

    options array-like (optional)

      length=5 : explained in Lstar

    omnivals dict (optional)

      if not provided, will use lookup table (see get_Lstar documentation for further explanation)

  Returns:
    results dictionary

      containing keys: Blocal, Bmirr, GEOcar

      >>> ib.find_Bmirror(t,y,[90,80,60,10])
      {'Blocal': array([ 0.,  0.]),
       'Bmirr': array([ 0.,  0.]),
       'loci': Coords( [[ NaN  NaN  NaN]
       [ NaN  NaN  NaN]] ), dtype=GEO,car, units=['Re', 'Re', 'Re']}
