We study the photometric behavior of the recurrent nova RS Oph by 58 monitoring light curves (LCs), taken by 5 telescopes. All LCs show repeating time structures with some quasi-periods (QPs) in time scales from minutes to hours. In our previous work 97 QPs were detected in the LCs by local minimums of structure functions and local maximums of auto-correlation functions. The distribution of the QPs shows modes at 8, 13, 21, 30, 48 and 73 min, where the mode at 8 min is poorly unveiled. These modes follow a power function with base $1.55approx 3/2$ with standard deviation 4.7%. This function predicts modes also at 5.3 and 3.5 min, which are not detected in the full MLCs. In the present work we analyze simple small parts from high resolution LCs. We confirm the QPs modes at 8.0, 5.3 and 3.5 min. Generally, we found 8 QP modes with regular logarithmic distribution in the time interval 3.5-73 min. We also show typical intra-night evolutions of QP modes in the minute scale -- sharp or gradual transitions from one QP mode to other. In the end we find that the parts of the LCs carry out the properties of the whole LCs at short time scale. This lead to two well pronounces dependences - between the range deviation and standard deviation of the LC, as well as between the quasi-period and the relevant level of the density function of the LC.

We analyzed 29 pairs of time series in B and V bands of the recurrent nova RS Oph. The observations were carried out in 2008-2017 with duration 0.6 - 3.6 hours, with time resolution 0.5 - 3.3 min. We scanned digitally each series by data windows with
various sizes Theta and derived two of the simplest fractal parameters for every Theta - standard deviation D and structural deviation S. Using the local minima of the structural function log S = f_S(log Theta) we unveiled 80 time structures, 42 in B band and 38 in V band, with time sizes 10-120 min. About 3/4 of the time sizes belong to the interval 10-40 min and about 1/4 lie in the interval 60-120 min. The respective cycles per day are 144-36 c/d and 24-15 c/d. On logarithmic scale, the distribution of the time sizes shows maximums at about 10, 21, 36 and 74 min. The 10 min flickering is poorly detectable in our series and we found the most widespread time structures (in about 1/5 of the cases) have time sizes about 21 min (about 69 c/d). Using the deviation function log D = f_D(log Theta) we estimated the relative cumulative energy (including the energy of the shorter structures in it), associated with the detected structure sizes, to be in the interval of the relative fluxes 2-11 %. The energies correlate weakly with the logarithms of the structure sizes, with correlation coefficients 0.60 and 0.57, under slope coefficients 0.04 and 0.03 in B and V band, respectively. The distributions of the energies occur bimodal, with maximums about 4% and 6% in B band, as well as about 3% and 5% in V band. The left and right modes of the distributions may be associated with the structure sizes 10 - 21 min and 37 - 74 min, respectively.
We report observations of the flickering variability of the recurrent nova RS Oph at quiescence on the basis of simultaneous observations in 5 bands (UBVRI). RS Oph has flickering source with (U-B)_0=-0.62 pm 0.07, (B-V)_0=0.15 pm 0.10, (V-R)_0=0.25
pm 0.05. We find for the flickering source a temperature T_fl = 9500 pm 500 K, and luminosity L_fl = 50 - 150 L_sun (using a distance of d=1.6kpc). We also find that on a (U-B) vs (B-V) diagram the flickering of the symbiotic stars differs from that of the cataclysmic variables. The possible source of the flickering is discussed. The data are available upon request from the authors and on the web www.astro.bas.bg/~rz/RSOph.UBVRI.2010.MNRAS.tar.gz.
We report observations of the flickering variability of the symbiotic recurrent nova RS~Oph at quiescence in five bands ($UBVRI$). We find evidence of a correlation between the peak-to-peak flickering amplitude ($Delta F$) and the average flux of the
hot component ($F_{rm av}$). The correlation is highly significant, with a correlation coefficient of 0.85 and a $p$-value of~$sim 10^{-20}$. Combining the data from all wavebands, we find a dependence of the type $Delta F propto F^k_{rm av}$, with power-law index $k = 1.02 pm 0.04$ for the $UBVRI$ flickering of RS~Oph. Thus, the relationship between the amplitude of variability and the average flux of the hot component is consistent with linearity. The rms amplitude of flickering is on average 8 per cent ($pm2$ per cent) of $F_{rm av}$. The detected correlation is similar to that found in accreting black holes/neutron stars and cataclysmic variables. The possible reasons are briefly discussed. The data are available upon request from the authors.
Our textit{Swift} observations of RS Oph form an unprecedented X-ray dataset to undertake investigations of both the central source and the interaction of the outburst ejecta with the circumstellar environment. Over the first month, the XRT data are
dominated by emission from rapidly evolving shocks. We discuss the differences in derived parameters from those found for textit{RXTE} at early times and the evolution of the X-ray emission to much later times. It is apparent that at late times several emission components are present. We find no strong evidence of the proposed shock break-out in our data.
We performed 48.6 hours (in 28 nights) of simultaneous B and V band observations of the flickering variability of the recurrent nova RS Oph in quiescence. During the time of our observations the brightness of the system varied between 13.2 > B > 11.1
and the colour in the range 0.86 < B-V < 1.33 . We find that RS~Oph becomes more blue, as it becomes brighter, however the hot component becomes more red as it becomes brighter (assuming that the red giant is non-variable). During all the runs RS Oph exhibits flickering with amplitude 0.16 - 0.59 mag in B band. For the flickering source we find that it has colour -0.14 < B-V < 0.40, temperature in the range 7200 < T_fl < 18900, and average radius 1.1 < R_fl < 6.7 R_sun. We do not find a correlation between the temperature of the flickering and the brightness. However, we do find a strong correlation (correlation coefficient 0.81, significance 1.1x10^{-7} ) between B band magnitude and the average radius of the flickering source - as the brightness of the system increases the size of the flickering source also increases. The estimated temperature is similar to that of the bright spot of cataclysmic variables. The persistent presence of flickering indicates that the white dwarf is actively accreting material for the next outburst.
