Abstract
Extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars in the Local Universe are expected as useful probes to the first stars. A portion of EMP stars should be second generation stars which are formed with nucleosynthetic yields of the first supernovae. In addition, if low-mass first stars were formed, they survive to date in the Local Universe. We constructed a new chemical evolution model taking into account the hierarchical galaxy formation process, and investigate the formation history of the first stars and the EMP stars. In this paper, we derive number and distribution of low-mass Population III (Pop. III) stars in the Local Universe and discuss the possibility to observe Pop. III survivors. We also show the expected chemical properties of the second generation stars and possible nucleosynthetic signatures of the first supernovae.
