Description:
    Radial velocities obtained with the Coravel scanner and with the ESO
    CES spectrograph are combined with Teff estimates and theoretical
    evolutionary tracks to determine the masses and luminosities of both
    components of the SB2 binary HD 59435. The surface magnetic field of
    the Ap secondary is measured from high resolution CES spectra.
    For a general description of the Geneva photometric system, see e.g.
