The identity (57122*n^2 - 47320*n+9801)^2 - (169*n^2 - 140*n + 29)*(4394*n - 1820)^2 = 1 can be written as a(n)^2 - A156639(n)*A156627(n)^2 = 1.
This is the case s=13 and r=70 of the identity (2*(s^2*n-r)^2+1)^2 - (((s^2*n-r)^2+1)/s^2)*(2*s*(s^2*n-r))^2 = 1, where ((s^2*n-r)^2+1)/s^2 is an integer if r^2 == -1 (mod s^2). Therefore, for s=13, nonnegative r values are: 70, 99, 239, 268, 408, 437, 577, 606, 746, 775, 915, 944, ... - Bruno Berselli, Apr 24 2018
