Double “acct”: A Distinct Double-peaked Supernova Matching Pulsational Pair Instability Models

We present multiwavelength data of SN 2020acct, a double-peaked stripped-envelope supernova (SN) in NGC 2981 at ∼150 Mpc. The two peaks are temporally distinct, with maxima separated by 58 rest-frame days and a factor of 20 reduction in flux between. The first is luminous ( M _r  = −18.00 ± 0.02 mag...
