摘要：

The observed properties of long gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies show them to often be of a rather low metallicity and/or of high specific star formation rate (SFR). It is not clear which of these properties is a dominant factor in determining if a galaxy will host a GRB or not. In fact there are indications, at least in the local universe, that the two may be anticorrelated and that the metallicity is the deciding parameter. Here, we consider GRB production models dependent on both quantities and show that when compared to the best available data, the respective star formation fractions appear indistinguishable out to a redshift of z similar to 4. However, the fraction of galaxies hosting a GRB, as determined by the specific SFR, is less at tension with the observed host galaxy fraction than the corresponding metallicity determined fraction, but this conclusion is model dependent. Well established galaxy stellar mass and star formation rate functions at high redshift are crucial in breaking the apparent degeneracy between the specific rate and metallicity in GRB production probability.
