42P38 is a small period-38 oscillator found by Mitchell Riley on April 21, 2023.[1] With only 42 cells, it is the smallest known period-38 oscillator by population; surpassing 44P38. It consists of an R-pentomino turning into an octomino II via fishhook, then turning back into an R-pentomino via a combination of a transparent blinker plus toad catalyst and hitting a second copy of itself.

It is a delayed domino sparker, allowing for the construction of some LCM oscillators and a period-38 honey farm hassler:

Carson Cheng found a 22-glider synthesis of 42P38 on April 26, 2023.[2][3] This was reduced to 18 gliders by Chris857 on August 14, 2023.[4][5]

LCM oscillators

The LCM oscillators below are the smallest known ones of their period by population while satisfying the condition that at least one cell oscillates at the full period. The patterns are shown with visible envelope to highlight interactions between subpatterns.
