F. ; A'Hearn, M. F. Abstract The 1665- and 1667-MHz transitions of OH have been observed in Comet West, and an upper limit for the 1612-MHz transition has been determined. The fluxes imply an OH production rate for the whole comet of roughly 2 by 10 to the 29th power per sec at a heliocentric distance of 1.09 AU.
