Hera is the new data analysis service provided by the HEASARC at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center that enables qualified student and professional astronomical researchers to immediately begin analyzing scientific data from astrophysics missions. All the necessary resources needed to do the data analysis are freely provided by Hera, including (i) the latest version of the hundreds of scientific analysis programs all installed and ready to run; (ii) high-speed access to the terabytes of data in the HEASARC's data archive, (iii) a cluster of fast Linux workstations to run the software; and (iv) ample local disk space to temporarily store the data and results. Full information about how to use Hera is available from . Users only need to download the small Fv FITS file viewer program, which serves as the portal to the Hera services. Users can then access Hera either by using the Hera Graphical User Interface to control an interactive data analysis session on the Hera server machines, or by executing individual data analysis commands from a command window on the user's local machine. In the latter mode, any input data files on the user's local machine are automatically copied up to the Hera server machine where the software task is executed. Any output files from the task are then copied back to the user's machine. The Hera services have also been integrated into the HEASARC's data archive web pages, so researchers can simply click on a link to immediately begin analyzing the corresponding data set without having to first download the data or install any software other than Fv.
