Abstract

This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of eight total-eclipse W Ursae Majoris-type contact binary systems. Ground-based photometric multiband observations were conducted at a Mexican observatory, and new times of minima were extracted. The O-C analysis reveals that four of our target binaries exhibit a long-term increase in their orbital periods, while the others show a long-term decrease in their orbital periods. We analyzed the light curves using the PHOEBE Python code and BSN application. Among the target systems, two required the inclusion of a cold starspot on one of the components to achieve an adequate fit. The light curve analysis revealed that the target systems exhibit a shallow fillout factor. Absolute parameters were estimated using the Gaia DR3 parallax and astrophysics equations. Considering the effective temperatures and component masses, each system was classified as either the A- or W-subtype. The stellar evolution of the systems was represented through the mass-radius and mass-luminosity diagrams. Additionally, we calculated the initial masses of the companion stars and the total mass lost for each target system.
