Abstract:
The catalogue of 361 galactic contact binaries is presented. Enlisted
contact binaries are divided into five groups according to the type
and quality of the available observations and parameters. For all
systems the ephemeris for the primary minimum, minimum and maximum
visual brightness and equatorial coordinates are given. If available,
photometric elements, (M1+M2)*(sin)i3, spectral type, parallax
and magnitude of the O'Connell effect are also given. Photometric data
for several systems are augmented by new observations. The quality of
the available data is assessed and systems requiring modern
light-curve solutions are selected. Selected statistical properties of
the collected data are discussed.

Note (1): The systems are classified according to the Binnendijk
(1970VA.....12..217B 1970VA.....12..217B) scheme: the systems with the primary minimum
being the transit are of the A type, systems with the primary minimum
being the occultation are of the W type. Contact binaries with hot
components of the OB spectral type are assigned as E type. Systems in
which the components are in physical but not in thermal contact
(represented by W Crv) are denoted by B (reminding β Lyrae LC).
The type of the eclipses is also given: P = partial, T = total.
Note (2):
The contact binary stars are divided into five groups depending
on available data:
1: systems with both spectroscopic and photometric orbits
2: systems without reliable photometry but with spectroscopic orbit
3: systems with photometric orbit
4: systems with unresolved photoelectric or CCD light curve
5: systems without good CCD or photoelectric light curves but with
frequent observations of minima which allowed to determine
reliable ephemeris.
Note (3): Observed orbital period chance are coded as follows:
v: orbital period is variable
v!: fast or complicated variation of the orbital period
3b: orbital period is modulated by the light-time effect
3b?: orbital period is probably modulated by the light-time effect
":" uncertain or spurious period
"::" very uncertain or unreliable period
Note (4): The following code is used for the determination of the
photometric elements:
