Modular-three congruences for overcubic partitions

From papers

Let aˉm(n)\bar a_m(n) denote the overcubic partition function indexed by mm, as in the paper. For every n0n\geq 0 and i1i\geq 1, the following congruences are conjectured:

Overcubic partition congruence conjecture modulo powers of three.

aˉ3i+2(9n+2)0(mod6),aˉ9i+5(9n+3)0(mod12),\bar a_{3i+2}(9n+2)\equiv 0 \pmod{6},\qquad \bar a_{9i+5}(9n+3)\equiv 0 \pmod{12}, aˉ9i+8(9n+3)0(mod12),aˉ3i+2(9n+5)0(mod6),\bar a_{9i+8}(9n+3)\equiv 0 \pmod{12},\qquad \bar a_{3i+2}(9n+5)\equiv 0 \pmod{6}, aˉ3i+2(9n+8)0(mod6).\bar a_{3i+2}(9n+8)\equiv 0 \pmod{6}.

The conjecture concerns congruences modulo a prime other than the powers of 22 studied in detail elsewhere in the paper, and the source suggests that its proof should be similar to the proof of the cited theorem.
