Perfect powers in solutions to Pell equations

In this paper, we study the appearance of perfect powers in the first component of a non-minimal solution of a Pell equation. We give an upper bound on the counting function of the positive integers n having the property that some power of it (of exponent larger than 1) is the first component of a non-minimal solution of a Pell equation, and we present a Diophantine application.
