Scientific paper

We report on the second Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observation of the symbiotic recurrent nova RS Oph in outburst. This 2.3 ks observation was performed roughly one week into the eruption, on Feb 18, 2006, beginning at 17:27:00 UT. A preliminary analysis indicates that the source is still X-ray bright. We find a 2-10 keV flux of (1.54+/-0.05) e-9 erg/cm/cm/s and a 2-20 keV flux of (1.80+/-0.05) e-9 erg/cm/cm/s.
