Define $\mu(N)$ to be the number of elliptic curve factors of $J_0(N)$.

\noindent
Using results of MESTRE (rank bound in terms of conductor, under GRH) and 
SILVERMAN (number of integral points bounded by function of rank), BRUMER
observed that
$$
\mu(N)= {\cal O}\left(N^{c\over\log\log N}\right)
$$
for some constant~$c$.
\vskip 0.5in
\noindent
If $\mu(N)$ is unbounded for $N$ prime, $N\to\infty$, then the rank of the curve
$Y^2=X^3\pm N$ is unbounded, as is the 3-rank of the class group of ${\bf
Q}(\sqrt{N})$.

\noindent
For conductor $N=61,263,451$ there are 13~curves of this conductor.
