Minute-cadence Observations of the LAMOST Fields with the TMTS. VI. Physical Parameters of Contact Binaries by Qiqi Xia, Xiaofeng Wang, Kai Li, Xiang Gao, Fangzhou Guo, Jie Lin, Cheng Liu, Jun Mo, Haowei Peng, Qichun Liu, Gaobo Xi, Shengyu Yan, Xiaojun Jiang, Jicheng Zhang, Cui-Ying Song, Jianrong Shi, Xiaoran Ma, Danfeng Xiang, Wenxiong Li

“…The O'Connell effect observed in the light curves can be explained by adding a spot on the primary or secondary component in the models. According to O − C analysis, the orbital periods exhibit a long-term increasing or decreasing trend, among which J0132, J1300, and J1402 show periodic variations that may be attributed to the presence of a third body or magnetic activity cycles. …”
