Comments

Numbers of the form n*t(n+5,h)-(n+5)*t(n,h), where t(k,h) = k*(k+2*h+1)/2 for any h. Likewise:

A000217(n) = n*t(n+1,h)-(n+1)*t(n,h),

A005563(n) = n*t(n+2,h)-(n+2)*t(n,h),

A140091(n) = n*t(n+3,h)-(n+3)*t(n,h),

A067728(n) = n*t(n+4,h)-(n+4)*t(n,h) (n>0),

A140681(n) = n*t(n+6,h)-(n+6)*t(n,h).

This is the case r=7 in the formula:

u(r,n) = (P(r, P(n+r, r+6)) - P(n+r, P(r, r+6))) / ((r+5)*(r+6)/2)^2, where P(s, m) is the m-th s-gonal number.

Also, a(k) is a square for k = (5/2)*(A078986(n)-1).

Sum of reciprocals of a(n), for n>0: 137/750.

Also, numbers h such that 8*h/5+25 is a square.

The table given below as example gives the dimensions D(h, n) of the irreducible SU(3) multiplets (h,n). See the triangle A098737 with offset 0, and the comments there, also with a link and the Coleman reference. - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 18 2020
