Recent and upcoming stabilized spectrographs are pushing the frontier for Doppler spectroscopy to detect and characterize low-mass planets. Specifications for these instruments are so impressive that intrinsic stellar variability isexpected tolimittheir Doppler precision for most targetstars (Fischer etal. 2016). In order to realizetheir fullpotential, astronomers must developnewstrategies for distinguishing true Dopplershifts fromintrinsicstellar variability. Stellarvariability due tostarspots, faculae, and other rotationally-linked variability is particularly concerning, as the stellar rotation period is often included in the range of potential planet orbital periods. In order to robustly detect and accurately characterize low-mass planets via Doppler planet surveys, the exoplanet community must develop statistical models capable of jointly modeling planetary perturbations and intrinsic stellar variability. Towards this effort, we present simulations of extremely high-resolution solar-like spectra created with SOAP 2.0(Dumusque et al. 2014) that includes multiple evolving starspots to aid in developing and testing future statistical methods.
