Abstract

It is shown that the model of zero-age main-sequence contact binary stars in which a common convective envelope surrounds both stars incorrectly predicts the observed ratios of luminosity and mean surface brightness of the two components of W Ursae Majoris stars. Key words: W Ursae Majoris stars
