Superbursts Polygon Vertices.

For sufficiently large cross-sections, the linear energy deposition could produce observable signals if a macro were to pass through compact objects such as neutron stars in the form of thermonuclear runaway, leading to a superburst. New constraints are inferred from the low mass X-ray binary 4U 1820-30, in which more than a decade passed between successive superbursts [1].
