COMMENTS

Multiples of Pythagorean primes A002144 or of primitive Pythagorean triangles' hypotenuses A008846. - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Nov 12 2003

It appears that this is exactly the sequence of positive integers with at least one prime divisor of the form 4k+1. (This has been verified for all terms<=500.) Compare A072592. - John W. Layman (layman(AT)math.vt.edu), Mar 12 2008

The conjecture by Layman is correct. It is well known that the hypotenuses of primitive Pythagorean triples are precisely those numbers with all prime divisors of the form 4k+1. [From Franklin T. Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Apr 26 2009]
