COMMENTS
Most of these values are only conjectured to be correct.
Apr 15 2008: David Broadhurst says: I computed class numbers for prime discriminants with |D| < 10^9, but stopped when the first case with |D| > 5*10^8 was observed. That factor of 2 seems to me to be a reasonable margin of error, when you look at the pattern of what is included.
Arno, Robinson, & Wheeler prove a(0)-a(11). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Apr 25 2013
