Abstract Shortly after it passed through perihelion on February 25, 1976 Comet West was observed by the Helios Zodiacal Light Experiment. Broadband photopolarimetric measurements of the head and of the tail were performed in three wavelength bands (U, B, V). The phase angles encountered range from 67° to 85°. The polarization measurements indicated wavelength independent linear polarization. The maximum degree of polarization in the visual channel was found to be .28 at a phase angle of 83°.
