Scientific paper

We report on the first X-ray observation of the recurrent nova RS Oph during the 2006 outburst. The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observed RS Oph for 1.5 ks on Feb 15, 2006, beginning at 21:43:00 UT. At that time, RS Oph was less than one week into the eruption. A preliminary analysis shows that it was detected out to approximately 25 keV at about 145 counts/s/PCU, with a 2-10 keV flux of (1.33+0.05/-0.01) e-9 erg/cm/cm/s and a 2-20 keV flux of (1.98+0.07/-0.01) e-9 erg/cm/cm/s.
