The first analysis of the light curves of contact binaries ROTSE J135349.8+305205 (CB1) and 1SWASP J150957.5-115308 (CB2) using the Wilson-Devinney code is presented. Both binary systems are of the A-subtype with a shallow fill-out (20.8% and 15.8% respectively) and a difference in temperatures between the components of < 200 K. A mass-ratio of 0.302 is found for CB1, while for CB2 the interesting value of 0.904 is found. The short periods, 0.246 d for CB1 and 0.229 d for CB2, and their spectral type K suggests that these systems are near the shortest period limit. The absolute elements are estimated using GAIA parallaxes. CB2 is found to be at the beginning of its evolution, while CB1 will approach the final evolutionary stage. The sum of the component masses of CB1 is 0.813 M☉, below the mass limit of 1.0 − 1.2 M☉ assumed for the known contact binary stars.
The results of our study of the eclipsing binary systems AF LMi, CzeV188 and CRTS J073333.0+302556 based on new CCD B, V, RC, IC complete light curves, are here presented. The short periods of these systems are confirmed and revised. The light curves were modeled using the latest version of the WilsonDevinney code and, as a result, we found that AF LMi (G3+G9) and CzeV188 (K0+K1) are W UMa-type contact binary systems belonging to the W subclass, showing a shallow degree of fill-out with components in good thermal contact. CRTS J073333.0+302556 is a detached binary system composed by a late dwarf (K8) and an M6 dwarf spectral type components. The asymmetries of the light curves were accounted for with a spot on the surface of one of the component. The absolute elements of the three objects were estimated.
