Description
A new analysis of the variability of the spectral slope of PG QSOs has been performed, on the basis of recent literature data in the B and R photometric bands. Preliminary results confirm our previous findings concerning the increase of variability with the rest-frame observing frequency. We also find a correlation of the spectral slope with luminosity, consistent with temperature changes of an emitting black body.
