Spatial Heterodyne Spectroscopy: A Powerful Technique for Remotely Measuring the State of Plasmas from the Solar Atmosphere to Geospace to Heliopause
Spatial Heterodyne Spectroscopy (SHS) is a revolutionary new technique for Heliophysics capable of obtaining spectral line profiles at ultrahigh spectral resolution from a compact, robust, cost-effective instrument with no moving parts suitable for spaceflight. This white paper recommends maturing and developing SHS-based instruments to study key Solar and Heliophysics objectives from space.
