COMMENTS
The sequence contains A287799.
a(n) == 3 or 15 (mod 18) for n > 1.
The numbers a(n)/3 are 1, 7, 11, 31, 35, 41, 59, 73, 79, 107, ... with a majority of prime numbers, except the subset {b(m)} = {1, 35, 473, 737, 1247, 2489, 2627, ...}. It seems that b(m) is semiprime for m > 1.
From Robert Israel, Jul 13 2017: (Start)
Not all b(m) for m > 1 are semiprime.
A counterexample is a(8821) = 23963385 = 3*5*373*4283.
All terms are squarefree. (End)

EXAMPLE
105 = 1*105 = 3*35 = 5*21 = 7*15 => 1^2 + 2*105^2 = 22051, 3^2 + 2*35^2 = 2459, 5^2 + 2*21^2 = 907 and 7^2 + 2*15^2 = 499 are primes.
