Scientific paper

The photometric solutions of W UMa-type binary BW Dra have been determined by applying the Wilson and Devinney Code to UBV observations of Rucinski and Kaluzny. It is shown that BW Dra is corresponding to a system with an overcontact configuration. A smaller mass ratio q = 0.392 and UBV light curves give converging solutions with non-zero third light. It is proved that the components of BW Dra are older stars (the spectral types are G0 and G3, respectively). According to the photometric solution and spectroscopic results of Batten and Lu, the absolute parameters are presented, too.
