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 ESA Gaia Photometric Science Alerts Team and DPAC (http://gsaweb.ast.cam.ac.uk/alerts),
by the ATLAS survey, see Tonry et al. (2011, PASP, 123, 58) and Tonry et al. (ATel #8680),
by the Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients (see Chambers et al. 2016, arXiv:1612.05560, and http://pswww.ifa.hawaii.edu ), and
by SkyMapper (Scalzo et al. 2013, ATel #5480).
The observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope
at La Silla on 2017 March 7, using EFOSC2 and Grism 13 (3985-9315A, 18A 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 SNID fit to the SN Ia 1996X at +2d. Other good fits to normal SNe Ia around peak.
(2) Best fit to SN IIP 1999em at -4d. Redshift from SDSS.
(3) Several good fits to 1991T-like SNe Ia around peak.
(4) Halpha shows a narrow emission component on top of a broader (3400 km/s) one.
A broader component with a narrow emission component on top is also visible in Hgamma and Hbeta. Other narrow emission lines
likely from the galaxy are observed, such as [O II] 3727, [O III] 4959 and 5007.
(5) Best SNID fit to SN IIP 1999em at -2d. Redshift from the narrow Halpha emission line.
(6) Blue featureless continuum.
(7) Best fit to normal SN Ia 2005ls at +17d. Several other good fits to SNe Ia post-peak.
