Scientific paper

Swift observations of the current nova outburst of RS Oph have continued. After the two observations reported in IAUC #8675, there have been ~1 ksec observations on the following dates: Feb 21.01, 23.82, 26.43, 28.44, Mar 03.00, 10.82, 13.83. Between Feb 21.01 and Mar 10.82 the count rate in the 0.3-10 keV band has decreased continuously from 19.8 c/s to 6.0 c/s (Mar 10.82). The X-ray spectrum has shown a diminishing contribution from the hotter components, with a very slight rise at sub-keV energies.
