Pentoad 2 is a period-5 oscillator that is shown as the second pattern in the sixth row of Jason Summers' main period 5 collection. It is extensible. The central part is the same as in pentoad.
This oscillator first appeared semi-naturally in September 2016.[1]
Synthesis
A 16-glider synthesis was found by Jeremy Tan on March 19, 2019,[2] which was later improved to 12 gliders by Goldtiger997.[3]
