These resemble the Hecke-type congruences found by Atkin for the partition function $p(n)$ in 1966 and Garvan for the smallest parts function $spt(n)$ in 2010. The proofs depend on congruences between the generating functions for $\bar{p}(n)$, $\overline{spt1}(n)$, and $M2spt(n)$ and eigenforms for the half-integral weight Hecke operator $T(\ell^{2})$.
