Abstract

Three eclipsing binaries, CT Tau, GU Mon, and V701 Sco, are early-type contact binaries with infrared excess from circumbinary matter. We present the multi-color photometry for CT Tau and GU Mon, whose spectral types of B1V are identified by the low-precision spectra. Combining these new light curves (LCs) with previously reported LCs and radial velocity curves, we perform a synthesized analysis to estimate/update the stellar absolute parameters of the three systems. Their mass ratios are close to unity (i.e., q~1), which indicates that the binary system comprising of twin components may be undergoing a slow Case A mass transfer. From the period analysis, the light-time orbit in the (O-C) curve may result from the third condense companion around the binary system although no evidence could be provided by the third light l_3_. From the spectral energy distribution for three binaries, the excess infrared (IR) emissions are above the photospheric emissions, which can be seen at the 22.1 {mu}m for CT Tau and GU Mon, and 11.6 {mu}m, 14.5 {mu}m, and 22.1 {mu}m for V701 Sco, respectively. This kind of infrared excess for the early-type star may be attributed to the circumbinary matter by stellar wind.
