An analysis of European VLBI data of nova RS Ophiuchi shows the presence of a linear jet-like structure which has a brightness temperature of 107K at 1.7 GHz. This ejection is shown to be two sided and the 1.7 GHz emission is non-thermal. The light curves show the presence of a second, thermal component emerging at higher frequencies at a later epoch.
