Caption: Figure 1.
Comparison of V and visual LCs of RS Oph around the maxima of its explosions in 2021, 2006, and 1985. The gray curve is a third-degree polynomial that fits the V magnitudes around the 2021 maximum. The vertical dotted and dashed lines indicate the time of the brightness onset and its maximum, respectively (Table 2, Section 3.1).
