COMMENTS
The first term is A308365(19).
G. J. Simmons conjectured there are no palindromes of form n^k for k >= 5 (and n > 1) (see link, page 98). According to this conjecture, these perfect powers are terms: {11^k, k>=4}, {111^k, k>=4}, {1111^k, k>=3}, {11111^k, k>=3}, ...

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 161051 = 11^5.
a(2) = 1490841 = 11^2 * 111^2.
a(3) = 1625151 = 11^4 * 111.
a(4) = 1771561 = 11^6.
a(5) = 14921841 = 11^2 * 111 * 1111.
