Scientific paper

Comet C/ 1857 D1 (d'Arrest) is one of a large number of comets with parabolic orbits. Given that there are sufficient observations of the comet, 299 in right ascension and 279 in declination, it proves possible to calculate a better orbit. The calculations are based on a 12th order predictor-corrector method. The comet's orbit is highly elliptical, e=0.99982 and, from calculated mean errors, statistically different from a parabola. The comet will not return for at least 44 000 years and thus represents no immediate NEO threat.
