RV estimates for N mean RV (red dashed line), SN mean RV (black line), and SN median RV (cyan dotted-dashed line). In this case, the CCFs were generated using SOAP 2.0 with an equatorial3% facula on the simulated Sun. The star does one full rotation between phase −0.5 and 0.5; the facula are seen face-on for phase 0. The variations observed in SN mean RV are notably different from the variations measured in SN median RV and N mean RV.
