Abstract: In this paper, we consider the equation [ x^2 - q^{2k+1} = y^n, qquad q mid x, quad 2 mid y, ] for integers $x,q,k,y$ and $n$, with $kgeq0$ and $ngeq3$. We extend work of the first and third-named authors by finding all solutions in the cases $q=41$ and $q=97$. We do this by constructing a Frey-Hellegouarch $mathbbQ$-curve defined over the real quadratic field $K=mathbbQ(sqrtq)$, and using the modular method with multi-Frey techniques.
