Spectral variation in the photon index, Γ, versus the change in E = 2 − 10 keV X-ray luminosity between the lowest- and highest-flux states of the multi-epoch X-HESS AGNs. Luminosity changes of < 1% occurring within the red-hatched region are considered insignificant. Most of the sources vary accordingly to a softer-when-brighter trend, while a smaller fraction do the opposite. No clear correlation is found between the amplitude of the spectral variations and the time elapsed between the two observations of interest.
