Represent the ring of Gaussian integers E = {x+y*i: x, y rational integers, i = sqrt(-1)} by the cells of a square grid; number the cells of the grid along a counterclockwise square spiral, with the cells representing the ring identities 0, 1 numbered 0, 1. Sequence lists the index numbers of the cells which are 0 or a prime in E.

The cell with spiral index m represents the Gaussian integer A174344(m+1) + A274923(m+1) * i. So the set of Gaussian primes is {A174344(a(n)+1) + A274923(a(n)+1) * i : n >= 2}. - Peter Munn, Aug 02 2021
The Gaussian integer z = x+i*y has norm x^2+y^2. There are four units (of norm 1), +-1, +-i. The number of Gaussian integers of norm n is A004018(n).
The norms of the Gaussian primes are listed in A055025, and the number of primes with a given norm is given in A055026.
The successive norms of the Gaussian integers along the square spiral are listed in A336336.
