%C Intersection of A006254 and A023194.

%C Sequence is a supersequence of the even superperfect numbers m_k (A061652 or even terms from A019279) because sigma(m_k) = 2*(m_k)-1 = k-th Mersenne prime A000668(k) for k>=1.

%C Conjecture: 2 and 9 are the only numbers n such that 2n - 1, 2n + 1 and sigma(n) are all primes.

%e 289 is in the sequence because 2*289 - 1 = 577 and sigma(289) = 307 (both primes).
