We investigate the influence of externally-driven density variations in the near-Earth space
using global 2D simulations performed with the hybrid-Vlasov model Vlasiator. With the new time-
varying boundary setup, we introduce a monochromatic Pc5 range periodic density variation in the
solar wind. As expected, the density variations cause a breathing motion of the magnetopause,
as well as changes in the bow bow shock standoff position. The preceding of bow shock motion
to the magnetopause motion suggests that it is directly driven by the fast mode waves triggered
by changing upstream parameters. The oscillations create large-scale stripes of variations inside
the magnetosheath and modulate the mirror and electromagnetic ion cyclotron mode, both of
which require anisotropic description of the pressure tensor. We characterize the spatial-temporal
properties of ultra-low frequency waves at different phases of the variation and discuss the
similarities and differences with previous MHD results.
