Add other LWSS emulator, which seems appropriate to put here, being that it isn't linked to any article by Catagolue and that the Emulators article links here for p5 LWSS emulators, so it is where people would go to look (terribly sorry for previous premature edit, I pressed the enter key by accident and am using my smartphone)
m Add second single-LWSS-spark oscillator from p40 glider gun

There is a smaller-population (41 cells) but higher-bounding-box (16*13) asymmetric period-5 LWSS emulator.
Multiple smaller oscillators with only single LWSS sparks also exist.

Toaster (or lightweight volcano) is a period-5 oscillator that was found by Dean Hickerson on April 1, 1992[1] that produces sparks much like a lightweight spaceship on its left and right sides. A minimal change can be done to change its symmetry type.

A stator variant of this oscillator appeared semi-naturally on 2018, in a symmetric soup submitted to Catagolue by Apple Bottom[2], and another on 2022-02-16 by Charity Engine[3].

On November 19, 2021, Dongook Lee and Entity Valkyrie observed that a toaster can be phase shifted to produce an oscillator of period 5n+2.[4]

Multiple smaller oscillators with only single LWSS sparks also exist.
