英文摘要We investigate signatures of Population III (PopIII) stars in the metal-enriched environment of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originating from Population II-I (PopII/I) stars by using abundance ratios derived from numerical simulations that follow stellar evolution and chemical enrichment. We find that at z > 10 more than 10 per cent of PopII/I GRBs explode in a medium previously enriched by PopIII stars (we refer to them as GRBII -> III). Although the formation of GRBII -> III is more frequent than that of pristine PopIII GRBs (GRBIIIs), we find that the expected GRBII -> III observed rate is comparable to that of GRBIIIs, due to the usually larger luminosities of the latter. GRBII. III events take place preferentially in small protogalaxies with stellar masses M-star similar to 10(4.5) - 10(7) M-circle dot, star formation rates SFR similar to 10(-3) - 10(-1) M-circle dot yr(-1) and metallicities Z similar to 10(-4) - 10(-2) Z(circle dot). On the other hand, galaxies with Z < 10(-2.8) Z(circle dot) are dominated by metal enrichment from PopIII stars and should preferentially host GRBII. III. Hence, measured GRB metal content below this limit could represent a strong evidence of enrichment by pristine stellar populations. We discuss how to discriminate PopIII metal enrichment on the basis of various abundance ratios observable in the spectra of GRBs' afterglows. By employing such analysis, we conclude that the currently known candidates at redshift z similar or equal to 6 - i.e. GRB 050904 and GRB 130606A - are likely not originated in environments pre-enriched by PopIII stars. Abundance measurements for GRBs at z similar or equal to 5 - such as GRB 100219A and GRB 111008A - are still poor to draw definitive conclusions, although their hosts seem to be dominated by PopII/I pollution and do not show evident signatures of massive PopIII pre-enrichment.
