Title: The progenitor and early evolution of the Type IIb SN 2016gkg

We report initial observations and analysis on the Type IIb SN 2016gkg in the nearby galaxy NGC 613. SN 2016gkg exhibited a clear double-peaked light curve during its early evolution, as evidenced by our intensive spectroscopic and photometric follow-up campaign. SN 2016gkg shows strong similarities with other Type IIb SNe, in particular with respect to the \he emission features observed ~9days after explosion in both the optical and near infrared. SN 2016gkg evolved faster than the prototypical Type IIb SN 1993J, with a decline similar to that of SN 2011dh after the first peak. Archival {\it Hubble Space Telescope} images indicate a pre-explosion source at SN 2016gkg's position, suggesting a progenitor star with a ~mid F spectral type and initial mass 15-20\msun, depending on the distance modulus adopted for NGC 613. Modelling the temperature evolution within 5days of explosion, we obtain a progenitor radius of ~60-120 solar radii, consistent with the spectral type obtained from the pre-explosion images.
