  Based on global hybrid simulation results, we predict that foreshock
turbulence can reach the magnetopause and lead to reconnection as well as
Earth-sized indents. Both the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and solar
wind are constant in our simulation, and hence all dynamics are generated by
foreshock instabilities. The IMF in the simulation is mostly Sun-Earth aligned
with a weak northward and zero dawn-dusk component, such that subsolar
magnetopause reconnection is not expected without foreshock turbulence
modifying the magnetosheath fields. We show a reconnection example to
illustrate that the turbulence can create large magnetic shear angles across
the magnetopause to induce local bursty reconnection. Magnetopause reconnection
and indents developed from the impact of foreshock turbulence can potentially
contribute to dayside loss of planetary plasmas.
