Abstract
Caro and Pasten gave an explicit upper bound on the number of rational points on a hyperbolic surface that is embedded in an abelian variety of rank at most one. We show how to use their method to produce a refined bound on the number of rational points on the surface in the case of a hyperelliptic curve of genus over . Combining this with work of Siksek, we use this to determine in a selection of examples.
