COMMENTS
The diagonals of T are the reversed rows of A178252. E.g., the fifth diagonal of T is (1,2,2,1,1) from the example below, which is the fifth reversed row of A178252.
Factoring out the greatest common divisor (gcd) of the coefficients of the sub-polynomials in the indeterminate q of the polynomials in s presented on p. 12 of the Alexeev et al. link and then evaluating the sub-polynomials at q=1 gives the first nine rows of T given in the example below. E.g., for k=6 (the seventh row), q*s^6 + (6*q + 9*q^2) s^4 + (15*q + 15*q^2) s^2 + 5 = q*s^6 + 3*(2*q + 3*q^2)*s^4 + 15*(q + q^2)*s^2 + 5 generates (1,2+3,1+1,1)=(1,5,2,1).
The row length sequence of this irregular triangle is A008619(n) = 1 + floor(n/2). - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 25 2015

FORMULA
T(n,k) = A178252(n-k,n-2k) = A055151(n,k) / A161642(n,k) = A007318(n,2k) * A000108(k) / A161642(n,k) = n! / [(n-2k)! k! (k+1)! A161642(n,k)] = A003989(n-k+1,k+1) * (n-k)! / [ (n-2k)! (k+1)! ], where A003989(j,k) = gcd(j,k).
