## TL;DR

This paper argues that the localization of a repeating fast radio burst at approximately 1 Gpc rules out models based on rotationally-powered pulsar emissions, suggesting alternative mechanisms.

## Contribution

It provides evidence that rules out certain pulsar-based models for FRB emission based on localization data.

## Key findings

- Localization at ~1 Gpc excludes young pulsar emission models.
- Supports alternative, non-rotational mechanisms for FRB origins.
- Refines understanding of possible FRB progenitors.

## Abstract

We argue that the localization of the Repeating FRB at $\sim 1$ Gpc excludes rotationally-powered type of radio emission (e.g., analogues of Crab's giant pulses coming from very young energetic pulsars) as the origin of FRBs.
