For n >= 1, row n consists of the even unitary divisors of A006939(n).
The range of properties is best understood when also viewed as a linear sequence with offset 0, so that a(floor(2^(n-1))+k) = T(n,k).
For even n > 0, a(n) is powerful.
For odd n > 1, a(n) is in A332785.
a(1) = 2 is the only prime term.
a(0) = 1 and a(1) = 2 are the only squarefree terms.
a(2^k) = 2^(k+1).
Perfect powers in this sequence include A000079, but also numbers like 400 = prime(1)^4 * prime(3)^2.

FORMULA
Let row_index(n) = A029837(n+1) = ceiling(log_2(n+1)), giving the row of the triangle that contains term a(n) of the linear sequence.
Let lin_index(n,k) = floor(2^(n-1))+k, giving the index in the linear sequence corresponding to term T(n,k) of the triangle.
a(0) = 1; otherwise:
a(2n) = A064549(a(n)) = a(n) * rad(a(n));
a(2n+1) = a(2n) * prime(row_index(n)).
T(n,0) = 2^n.
T(n,k) = T(n,0) * A242378(n - row_index(k), a(k)), where A242378(i,j) "adds i to the indices of the prime factors of j".
T(n,ceiling(2^(n-1))-1) = A006939(n).
For n > 1, T(n,1) = A265127(n) = 2^n * prime(n).
For n > 2, T(n,2^(n-1)) = A167747(n) = phi(6^n) = 2^n * 3^(n-1).
For n > 2, T(n,2^(n-2)) = A093141(n-1) = 4 * 10^(n-1). = 2^n * 5^(n-2).
