Abstract (from CDS):

By cross-matching the eclipsing binary catalog provided by A. Prša et al. with Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope medium-resolution spectra, we obtained 11 targets. Combining light and radial velocity curves analysis, we have derived accurate physical parameters for these 11 targets. The results indicate that there are 3 deep contact binaries, 3 moderate ones, and 5 shallow ones. Among them, 3 targets exhibit the O'Connell effect, which is attributed to the presence of starspot on the component's surface. One target is a low-mass ratio deep contact binary and may be contact binary merging candidates. The evolutionary status of these 11 targets was studied using the mass-luminosity and mass-radius relation diagrams. Based on the observed eclipsing minimum minus calculated eclipsing minimum (O - C) analysis of 10 targets, we found that the orbital periods of 5 contact binaries show a long-term decreasing trend, likely due to the combined effects of mass transfer between the two components and loss of angular momentum. Meanwhile, the orbital periods of the other 4 stars are continuously increasing, which is attributed to mass transfer. Besides, the O - C curves of 3 targets show clear periodic changes, which might result from the Applegate mechanism or the light travel time effect.
