Abstract: The recent paper "The further chameleon groups of Richard Thompson and Graham Higman: automorphisms via dynamics for the Higman groups $G_{n,r}$" of Bleak, Cameron, Maissel, Navas and Olukoya (BCMNO) characterises the automorphisms of the Higman-Thompson groups $G_{n,r}$ as the specific subgroup of the rational group $mathcal{R}_{n,r}$ of Grigorchuk, Nekrashevych and Suchanski{u i}'s consisting of those elements which have the additional property of being bi-synchronizing. In this article, we extend the arguments of BCMNO and characterise the automorphism group of $T_{n,r}$ as a subgroup of $mathrmAut{G}_{n,r}$. We then show that the groups $mathrmOut{T}_{n,r}$ can be identified with subgroups of the group $mathrmOut{T}_{n,n-1}$. Extending results of Brin and Guzman, we show that the groups $mathrmOut{T}_{n,r}$, for $n>2$, are all infinite and contain an isomorphic copy of Thompson's group $F$. For $XinT,G$, we study the groups $mathrmOut{X}_{n,r}$ and show that these fit in a lattice structure where $mathrmOut{X}_{n,1}unlhdmathrmOut{X}_{n,r}$ for all $1lerlen-1$ and $mathrmOut{X}_{n,r}unlhdmathrmOut{X}_{n,n-1}$. This gives a partial answer to a question in BCMNO concerning the normal subgroup structure of $mathrmOut{G}_{n,n-1}$. Furthermore, we deduce that for $1lej,dlen-1$ such that $d=gcd(j,n-1)$, $mathrmOut{X}_{n,j}=mathrmOut{X}_{n,d}$ extending a result of BCMNO for the groups $G_{n,r}$ to the groups $T_{n,r}$. We give a negative answer to the question in BCMNO which asks whether or not $mathrmOut{G}_{n,r}congmathrmOut{G}_{n,s}$ if and only if $gcd(n-1,r)=gcd(n-1,s)$. We conclude by showing that the groups $T_{n,r}$ have the $R_{infty}$ property extending the result of Burillo, Matucci and Ventura and, independently, Gon{c c}alves and Sankaran, for Thompson's group $T$.
