The sprayer[note 1] is a (2,1)c/6 spaceship found by Adam P. Goucher on May 9, 2021 using his ikpx2 search program.[1] It is a completion of a front end found by Dylan Chen in January 2021,[2] also using ikpx2.[3]
Tagalongs
The sprayer's namesake heavyweight spark can be used to support another sprayer with its back third cut off or a wandering ministrel, the latter of which can pull a connecting ministrel.[4]
Puffers
Within hours of the sprayer's discovery, the same ikpx2 search found a (4,2)c/12 block puffer[5], which was quickly used to form a period-12 backrake.[6]
Notes
