The extremely blue foreground LMC star LB3459 (= HDE 269696) was reported by Kilkenny, Hilditch and Penfold (1978) to be an eclipsing binary system with a period of 6h17m. Preliminary analysis of uvby photometry and data obtained with the University of Cape Town highspeed photometer (Nather 1973) indicated that the system was composed of two degenerate stars, probably 0-type subdwarfs.
