COMMENTS
As shown in the formula, a(n) depends on the number of distinct primes of the forms 4*k+1 (A005089) and 4*k-1 (A005091) and whether n is divisible by 2 (A059841).
Note that associated divisors are counted only once. - Jianing Song, Aug 30 2018

FORMULA
a(n) = A059841(n) + 2*A005089(n) + A005091(n).
Additive with a(p^e) = 2 if p = 1 (mod 4), 1 otherwise. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Oct 18 2006
EXAMPLE
a(1006655265000) = a(2^3*3^2*5^4*7^5*11^3) = 1 + 2*1 + 3 = 6 because n is divisible by 2, has 1 prime factor of the form 4*k+1 and 3 primes of the form 4*k+3. Over the Gaussian integers, 1006655265000 is factored as i*(1 + i)^6*(2 + i)^4*(2 - i)^4*3^2*7^5*11^3, the 6 distinct Gaussian factors are 1 + i, 2 + i, 2 - i, 3, 7 and 11.
