Extract

In this paper we continue the study of elliptic curves defined over a quadratic field with good reduction at primes not dividing 2 begun in [9] (referred to as I). We extend the results of I to show that such a curve must have a point of order 2 also defined over when d = −7, −3, −2, −1, 2, 3 or 5 and list all such curves over .
