58P37 (or p37 R-pentomino hassler) is a period-37 oscillator found by Luke Kiernan on June 24, 2022 via a symmetric CatForce search, and the smallest known oscillator of this period.[1] It led to the construction of the first glider gun with true period 37,[2] consisting of one copy of 58P37 and one copy of Beluchenko's other p37 stabilizing a p37 reaction found by goldenratio in December 2021.[3] It was quickly found that Beluchenko's oscillator could also be replaced by 58P37, leading to the form shown below.[4]

Glider synthesis
Carson Cheng found a 26-glider synthesis of this oscillator on the day after its discovery.[5] Chris857 lowered the cost to 25 gliders in May 2023,[6][7] to 24 gliders in July 2023,[8][9] and then to 23 gliders on January 8, 2024.[10][11]
LCM Oscillators
If one of two eaters is uncapped, as with the period-37 gun, a block is produced. By deleting this block, LCM oscillators can be made. In the event that the block deletion doesn't work (here for SKOP 185 and SKOP 592), there is a duoplet spark that can work instead.
