COMMENTS
In the covering case, these degree sequences, sorted in decreasing order, are the same thing as half-loop-graphical partitions (A321729). An integer partition is half-loop-graphical if it comprises the multiset of vertex-degrees of some graph with half-loops, where a half-loop is an edge with one vertex.
The following are equivalent characteristics for any positive integer n:
(1) the prime indices of n can be partitioned into distinct singletons or strict pairs, i.e., into a set of half-loops or edges;
(2) n can be factored into distinct primes or squarefree semiprimes;
(3) the prime signature of n is half-loop-graphical.

FORMULA
EXAMPLE
The a(0) = 1 through a(3) = 9 sorted degree sequences:
() (1) (1,1) (1,1,1)
(2,1) (2,1,1)
(2,2) (2,2,1)
(2,2,2)
(3,1,1)
(3,2,1)
(3,2,2)
(3,3,2)
(3,3,3)
For example, the half-loop-graphs
{{1},{1,2},{1,3},{2,3}}
{{1},{2},{3},{1,2},{1,3}}
both have degrees y = (3,2,2), so y is counted under a(3).

The non-covering version (it allows isolated vertices) is A029889.
The same partitions counted by sum are conjectured to be A321729.
A339659 counts graphical partitions of 2n into k parts.
