%N a(n) = 5*n^2 + 1.

%C Z[sqrt(-5)] is not a unique factorization domain, and some of the numbers in this sequence have two different factorizations in that domain, e.g., 21 = 3 * 7 = (1 + 2*sqrt(-5))*(1 - 2*sqrt(-5)). And of course some primes in Z are composite in Z[sqrt(-5)], like 181 = (1 + 6*sqrt(-5))*(1 - 6*sqrt(-5)).

%C These are pentagonal-star numbers. - _Mario Cortés_, Oct 26 2020
