9983 Rickfienberg is a main belt asteroid. It orbits the Sun once every 4.45 years. [cite web|url = http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=9983;orb=0;cov=0;log=0#elem|title = 9983 Rickfienberg (1995 DA)|work = JPL Small-Body Database Browser]

Discovered on February 19, 1995 by D. di Cicco, it was given the provisional designation 1995 DA. It was later renamed 9983 Rickfienberg after Richard Tresch Fienberg, the editor of Sky & Telescope at the time. ["MPC 48389" Minor Planet Center]
