Caption: Fig. 10.
Top: Composite difference spectra for the 315 objects in the final variable quasar sample. The composites are created by taking the arithmetic (black line) or geometric (gray line) mean of the scaled flux differences. Both spectra are boxcar smoothed with a smoothing length of 20 pixels. Bottom: Number of quasars used to create composites as a function of wavelength.
