59 Andromedae, abbreviated 59 And, is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda with a combined apparent magnitude of 5.64. 59 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. As of 2017, the pair had an angular separation of 16.60 along a position angle (PA) of 36°. Compare this to a separation of 15.3″ along a PA of 35°, as measured in 1783.[12] The two stars have an estimated physical separation of 1,370 AU.[13]

The magnitude 6.09[1] primary component is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B9 V.[4] It has 2.62 times the Sun's radius and is radiating 91 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 11,002 K.[7] It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 176 km/s.[4]

The secondary is a magnitude 6.82[1] A-type main-sequence star with a class of A1 Vn,[4] where the 'n' suffix indicates "nebulous" lines due to rapid rotation. It is spinning with a high projected rotational velocity of 233 km/s.[4] The star has 2.34 times the Sun's mass and 2.23 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 32 times the luminosity of the Sun and has an effective temperature of 9,226 K.[7]
