BRANHAM, JR., R. L.. Orbit of Comet C/1853 E1 (SECCHI). Rev. mex. astron. astrofis [online]. 2006, vol.42, n.1, pp.107-116. ISSN 0185-1101.

Comet C/1853 E1 (Secchi) is one of a large number of comets with parabolic orbits. Given that there are sufficient observations of the comet, 91 in right ascension and the same number in declination, it proves possible to calculate a better orbit. Comet Secchi's orbit is hyperbolic, the most hyperbolic of any comet except C/1980 E1 (Bowell). Comet Secchi is in no way associated with Comet C/1664 W1.
