In this study, all unpublished time series photometric data of BM UMa ($q sim$ 2.0, P = 0.2712,d) from available archives were re-investigated together with new data taken from the TNT-2.4m of the Thai National Observatory (TNO). Based on period analysis, there is a short-term variation superimposed on the long-term period decrease. The trend of period change can be fitted with a downward parabolic curve indicating a period decrease at a rate of $mathrm{d}P/mathrm{d}t = -3.36(pm 0.02)times10^{-8}$ d $textrm{yr}^{-1}$. This long-term period decrease can be explained by mass transfer from the more massive component ($M_2 sim 0.79 M_{odot}$) to the less massive one ($M_1 sim 0.39 M_{odot}$), combination with AML. For photometric study, we found that the binary consists of K0,V stars and at the middle shallow contact phase with evolution of fill-out factor from 8.8,% (in 2007) to 23.2,% (in 2020). Those results suggest that the binary is at pre-transition stage of evolution from W-type to A-type, agreeing to the results of statistical study of W-type contact binaries. The mass of $M_2$ will be decreased close to or below $M_1$ and the mass ratio will be decreased ($q < 1.0$). By this way, the binary will evolve into A-type as a deeper normal over-contact system with period increase. Finally the binary will end as a merger or a rapid-rotating single star when the mass ratio meet the critical value ($q < 0.094$), as well as produce a red nova.
ROTSE1 J164341.65+251748.1 was photometrically observed in the V band during three epochs with the 0.84-m telescope of the San Pedro Martir Observatory in Mexico. Based on additional BVR photometry, we find that the primary star has a spectral type a
The first four-color light curves of V868 Mon in the $B$ $V$ $R_c$ and $I_c$ bands are presented and analyzed by using the Wilson-Devinney method of the 2013 version. It is discovered that V868 Mon is an A-subtype contact binary (f=$58.9,%$) with a l
This study is an attempt to determine the metallicities of WUMa-type binary stars using spectroscopy. ~4,500 spectra collected at the David Dunlap Observatory were subject to the same Broadening Function processing to determine the combined line stre
New CCD photometric light curves of short period (P=0.285d) eclipsing binary RW Dor are presented. The observations performed with the PROMPT-8 robotic telescope at CTIO in Chile from March 2015 to March 2017. The other eclipse timings were obtained
Using multicolour photometry we have confirmed the binary nature of the new W-type W UMa eclipsing binary VSX J053024.8+842243 and established its primary eclipse ephemeris to be HJD = 2455924.38150(26) + 0.4322929(1) * E. Using the light curve model
