Let F_{n+m} be the free group of rank n+m, with generating set S=\{x_1,...,x_{n+m}\}. An automorphism \phi of F_{n+m}$ is called partially symmetric if for each 1\leq i\leq m, \phi(x_i) is conjugate to x_j or x_j^{-1} for some 1\leq j\leq m. Let \Sigma Aut_n^m$ be the group of partially symmetric automorphisms. Using the action of this group on a certain subcomplex of the spine of Auter space, we prove that for any m\geq 0 the inclusion \Sigma Aut_n^m \rightarrow \Sigma Aut_{n+1}^m induces an isomorphism in rational homology for n\geq (3(i+1)+m)/2, and for any n\geq 0 the inclusion \Sigma Aut_n^m \to \Sigma Aut_n^{m+1} induces an isomorphism in rational homology for m>(3(i+1)-n)/2. We also show that for any m\geq 0, the stable rational homology in n is trivial.
