3D MHD simulations of solar faculae reveal a center-to-limb transition in induced radial velocity from redshift to blueshift at heliocentric angles above 60 degrees, producing a phase-lagged transit profile and spectral-line dependence.

NASA's Pandora SmallSat Mission: Simulating the Impact of Stellar Photospheric Heterogeneity and Its Correction
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.
