Spectroscopic data of this blue subdwarf indicate that the primary eclipse is a transit rather than an occultation. It is also found that the light contributed by the secondary is primarily due to a reflection effect and its intrinsic luminosity is very low compared to the primary. The primary most likely consists of a 0.2 solar-mass degenerate helium core surrounded by a low mass envelope; its companion (0.04 solar mass) is probably also degenerate, although it may be a faint main-sequence star. Possible evolutionary scenarios are discussed, with the conclusion that LB3459 is an interesting example of common envelope evolution.
