Does anyone know what would be the standard procedure to determine how much energy is needed to vaporize a large comet?

You should use the heat change method. If you want, you can give me the feat and I'll do the math.

Thank you. And thank you for suggesting to do it but I’d rather not bother you with it, I’ll just do it directly

Im doing it right now and I do have to use the heat change method but don't I also need to use latent heat for sublimation since it eventually got vaporized?

You need to add the pixel scaled image for the CGM to control it.
And where did you get the ratios for the comet? The sources I looked at didn't give any ratios. And comets are not just water and ice. They're also made of dust and rocks, and you have to add those in.
Also, it took Chery a long time to melt the comet, so you have to divide the calculated energy by the time.

I used this as a reference, I'm obviously not an astrophysicist so I need a simplified model for this comet, not taking into account every parent molecule. The abundance of these parent molecules, can vary significantly, ranging from less than 0.01% to as much as 20% relative to water. So I would just use the second most present molecule which would be CO2 and make up its ratio relatively to the percentage of water. Which would give me 80-20.
Alright
