Accounting for stellar and orbital uncertainties shows that predicted eclipse depths for bare-rock models of rocky exoplanets carry substantial uncertainty comparable to measurements, establishing a fundamental precision limit for atmospheric and compositional inferences.
Pandora simulations recover stellar photospheric temperatures to ~30 K with no bias and reduce simple spot contamination from 100-1000 ppm to under 10 ppm, but complex spot geometries leave ~1000 ppm residuals.
