dc.description.abstractThis study broadens our comprehensive investigation of total-eclipse W Ursae Majoris-type contact binaries by analyzing eight additional systems, continuing our previous research. Multiband BV RcIc photometric data were obtained at an observatory in Mexico, from which new times of minima were determined. All target systems also had available space-based Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite time-series data. Orbital period variations were studied for eight target systems, showing either linear or parabolic trends. The target systems exhibiting parabolic trends demonstrated a sustained decrease in their orbital periods over time. We modeled the light curves utilizing the PHOEBE Python code in combination with the BSN application. We revisited the relationship between orbital period and the temperature of the hotter component in contact binary systems using an empirical approach. Our analysis identified a clear break at P = 0.27 day, separating the systems into two distinct groups for orbital periods shorter than 0.6 day. Following the determination of stellar extinction, absolute parameters for seven systems were estimated employing parallax measurements from Gaia DR3. Based on the components' effective temperatures and masses, the systems were classified into A- and W-subtypes. Their evolutionary states were illustrated using mass-radius and mass-luminosity diagrams.
