'''7553 Buie''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|b|uː|iː}}), provisional designation ''{{mp|1981 FG}}'', is a Nysa asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately {{convert|3.5|km|mi|abbr=off|sigfig=2|sp=us}} in diameter. It was discovered on 30 March 1981, by American astronomer Edward Bowell at Lowell's Anderson Mesa Station near Flagstaff, Arizona.<ref name="MPC-object" /> The stony S-type asteroid has a rotation period 4.2 hours an possibly an elongated shape.<ref name="lcdb" /> It was named after American astronomer Marc Buie.<ref name="springer" />
== Orbit and classification ==
''Buie'' is a core member of the Nysa family ({{small|405}}),<ref name="Ferret" /> also known as the Herta family,<ref name="AstDys-object" /> located within the Nysa–Polana complex. It is one of the largest asteroid families of the asteroid belt and named after 44 Nysa.<ref name="Nesvorny-2014" />
It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 2.0–2.7 AU once every 3 years and 8 months (1,351 days; semi-major axis of 2.39 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.15 and an inclination of 3° with respect to the ecliptic.<ref name="jpldata" /> A first precovery was taken at the Palomar Observatory in December 1950, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 31 years prior to its discovery.<ref name="MPC-object" />
== Naming ==
This minor planet was named in honor of American Marc William Buie (born 1958), an astronomer at the discovering Lowell Observatory and a prolific discoverer of minor planets including several trans-Neptunian objects. His contributions to planetary astronomy also include research on the moons of Pluto and the development of widely used astronomical software.<ref name="springer" /> The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 28 July 1999 ({{small|M.P.C. 35486}}).<ref name="MPC-Circulars-Archive" />
== Physical characteristics ==
''Buie'' has been characterized as a stony S-type asteroid by PanSTARRS photometric survey.<ref name="lcdb" /><ref name="Veres-2015" /> It is also an S-type in the SDSS-based taxonomy,<ref name="SDSS-Taxonomy" /> and agrees with the overall spectral type of the Nysa family.
=== Rotation period ===
In September 2012, a rotational lightcurve of ''Buie'' was obtained from photometric observations made at the Palomar Transient Factory, California. In the R-band, it gave a rotation period of {{val|4.2418|0.0071}} hours with a brightness variation of 0.51 magnitude, while in the SG-Band the period was {{val|4.2453|0.}} hours with an amplitude of 0.53 magnitude ({{small|U=2/2}}).<ref name="lcdb" /><ref name="Waszczak-2015" /> A high brightness variation typically indicates a non-spherical shape.
=== Diameter and albedo ===
According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, ''Buie'' measures 3.4 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.259,<ref name="WISE" /><ref name="Masiero-2011" /> while the ''Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link'' assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 3.92 kilometers using an absolute magnitude of 14.4.<ref name="lcdb" />
