Optical frequency comb spectrometers open up new avenues of investigation into molecular structure and dynamics thanks to their accuracy, sensitivity and broadband, high-speed operation. We combine broadband direct frequency comb spectroscopy with a dispersive spectrometer providing single-spectrum acquisition time of a few tens of milliseconds and high spectral resolution. We interleave a few tens of such comb-resolved spectra to obtain profiles of 14-kHz wide cavity resonances and determine their positions with precision of a few hertz. To the best of our knowledge, these are the most precise and highest resolution spectral measurements performed with a broadband spectrometer, either comb-based or non-comb-based. This result pushes the limits of broadband comb-based spectroscopy to Hz-level regime. As a demonstration of these capabilities, we perform simultaneous cavity-enhanced measurements of molecular absorption and dispersion, deriving the gas spectra from cavity mode widths and positions. Such approach is particularly important for gas metrology and was made possible by the Hz-level resolution of the system. The presented method should be especially applicable to monitoring of chemical kinetics in, for example, plasma discharges or measurements of narrow resonances in cold atoms and molecules.
