Comments

Subsequence of A176969.

The least-significant digit of all terms is one of 0, 2 or 8, because for odd digits m^2 + 13^k would be even (not prime), and for digits 4 and 6 the number m^2 + 13^2 is a multiple of 5.

Example

m=10 is in the sequence because 10^2 + 13 = 113 = prime(30), 10^2 + 13^2 = 269 = prime(57), 10^2 + 13^3 = 2297 = prime(342).
m=8888 is in the sequence because 8888^2 + 13 = 78996557 = prime(4614261), 8888^2 + 13^2 = 78996713 = prime(4614269), 8888^2 + 13^3 = 78998741 = prime(4614379).
m=6480 yields a prime 6480^2 + 13^k even for k=0.
m=7490 yields a prime 7490^2 + 13^k even for k=0 and k=4.
