| contents | The field of definition of the Mordell-Weil group of an elliptic surface $E/\mathbb{Q}$ is the smallest number field $k$ such that all of its $\mathbb{Q}(t)$-rational points are defined over $k(t)$. In this paper, we present an algorithm, implemented in Magma, which can determine the arithmetic information, including the field of definition, associated to any rational elliptic surface. As an application of this, we also demonstrate that the field of definition of Shioda's rank $68$ elliptic surface given by $y^2 = x^3 + t^{360} + 1$ is a number field of degree $829,440$. |
