Prime numbers by form

Here is a nonnegative integer and is a prime related in some way to the prime listed.

Primes in arithmetic progressions: a n + b, gcd(a, b) = 1

Primes coprime to 4 (primes in 4 n ± 1)

Except for the prime 2 (prime factor of 4), all primes are coprime to 4.

Non-Pythagorean primes
A002145 {3, 7, 11, 19, 23, 31, 43, 47, 59, 67, 71, 79, 83, 103, 107, 127, 131, 139, 151, 163, 167, 179, 191, 199, 211, 223, 227, 239, 251, 263, 271, 283, 307, 311, 331, 347, 359, 367, 379, ...}
These primes are also primes among the Gaussian integers (see Gaussian primes).
Pythagorean odd primes (note that the even prime is also Pythagorean)
A002144 {5, 13, 17, 29, 37, 41, 53, 61, 73, 89, 97, 101, 109, 113, 137, 149, 157, 173, 181, 193, 197, 229, 233, 241, 257, 269, 277, 281, 293, 313, 317, 337, 349, 353, 373, 389, 397, 401, ...}
