Abstract: We investigate properties of attainable partitions of integers, where a partition $(n_1,n_2,dots,n_r)$ of $n$ is attainable if $sum(3-2i)n_{i}geq0$. Conjecturally, under an extension of the Cohen and Lenstra heuristics by Holmin et. al., these partitions correspond to abelian $p$-groups that appear as class groups of imaginary quadratic number fields for infinitely many odd primes $p$. We demonstrate a connection to partitions of integers into triangular numbers, construct a generating function for attainable partitions, and determine the maximal length of attainable partitions.
