p196 pi-heptomino hassler is a small for its period period-196 oscillator. A partial was found by David Raucci on July 2, 2021[1], and Aidan F. Pierce completed it later the same day[2]. It consists of two rotationally symmetric pi-heptominoes interacting with each other in addition to hitting block and eater 2 catalysts. After a half cycle, it flips along a diagonal axis. At 66 cells, it is the smallest known period-196 oscillator by population.

Within a few hours of its discovery, Jeremy Tan found a 24-glider synthesis of the oscillator[3].
