Point-count conjecture for the double octic O_5

From papers

Let O5O_5 be the double cover of P3P^3 branched over the octic displayed in the source. For each prime p>2p>2, let apa_p denote the eigenvalue for TpT_p of the newform of weight 44 and level 55, and let (1p)\left(\frac{-1}{p}\right) be the Legendre symbol. Point-count conjecture for O5O_5. For all primes p>2p>2, the threefold O5O_5 has

p3+5p2(9+(1p))p+1app^3+5p^2-(9+\left(\frac{-1}{p}\right))p+1-a_p

points over FpF_p. The conjecture was checked for p<200p<200; the paper suggests proving it via a crepant resolution that is a rigid CalabiYau threefold, and relates it to the Tate conjecture.
