An interesting family of curves of genus 1

We study the family of elliptic curves y2=x3−t2x+1, both over ℚ(t) and over ℚ. In the former case, all integral solutions are determined; in the latter case, computation in the range 1≤t≤999 shows large ranks are common, giving a particularly simple example of curves which (admittedly over a small r...
