Scientific paper

New photoelectric U,B and V observations of the eclipsing contact binary SW Lac were taken in 1998 and nine new minima times were determined. The (0-C) diagram constructed using photographic and photoelectric minima times can be explained by a secular increase of the period combined with a light-time effect due to the presence of another two bodies in the system with orbital periods P3 = 23 and P4 approx. 90 years. The minimum masses of these bodies are M3 = 0.41 plus or minus 0.03 M and M4 = 1.47 plus or minus 0.03 M. Photometric elements of the contact binary are given.
