PESSTO, the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient Objects (see Smartt et al. 2015, A&A, 579, 40 http://www.pessto.org ),
reports the following supernova classifications. The targets were supplied
by the ATLAS survey, see Tonry et al. (2011, PASP, 123, 58) and Tonry et al. (ATel #8680).
The observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope
at La Silla on 2017 March 5, using EFOSC2, Grism 13 (3985-9315A, 18A resolution) and Grism 11 (3380-7520A, 13A resolution).
The classifications were done with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) and GELATO (Harutyunyan et al.,
2008, A&A, 488, 383). The classification spectra and additional details can be obtained
from http://www.pessto.org (via WISeREP) and the IAU Transient Name Server.

(1) Best match to SN 1980K at +11 d. Redshift from SDSS. See ATel #10131 for previous observations.
(2) Hbeta, Hgamma and Hdelta P-Cygni profiles emerging from the blue continuum. Redshift from galaxy emission lines. See ATel #10094 for previous observations.
