Comments

Discriminant = 229. Class = 3. Binary quadratic forms a*x^2+b*x*y+c*y^2 have discriminant d=b^2-4ac. They can represent primes only if gcd(a,b,c)=1. [Edited by M. F. Hasler, Jan 27 2016]

Also primes represented by the improperly equivalent form 5*x^2+7*x*y-9*y^2. - Juan Arias-de-Reyna, Mar 17 2011

36*a(n) has the form z^2 - 229*y^2, where z = 18*x+7*y. [Bruno Berselli, Jun 25 2014]

Appears to be the complement of A141166 in A268155, primes that are squares mod 229. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 27 2016

a(10)=97 because we can write 97= 9*3^2+7*3*1-5*1^2
