Scientific paper

Asteroid 9983 has not yet been previously classified. The asteroid was classified using spectral photometry. Images were obtained using the 0.9-meter WIYN telescope at Kitt Peak Observatory, the S2KB camera, and U, B, V, R, and I Harris filters. Landolt reference stars were used to calibrate the imaging system. These observations were conducted in parallel with observations being made at Andover Academy to determine a rotational lightcurve. These observations were well timed to occur during the recent opposition of 9983 Rickfienberg. This work was supported in part by the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium and a private bequest from Ms. Linda Staubitz.
