Abstract: For a right-angled Artin group $A_{G}amma$, the untwisted outer automorphism group $U(A_{G}amma)$ is the subgroup of $Out(A_{G}amma)$ generated by all of the Laurence-Servatius generators except twists (where a {em twist} is an automorphisms of the form $vmapstovw$ with $vw=wv$). We define a space $Sigm{a}_{G}amma$ on which $U(A_{G}amma)$ acts properly and prove that $Sigm{a}_{G}amma$ is contractible, providing a geometric model for $U(A_{G}amma)$ and its subgroups. We also propose a geometric model for all of $Out(A_{G}amma)$ defined by allowing more general markings and metrics on points of $Sigm{a}_{G}amma$.
