We report the following classifications of optical transients from spectroscopic observations with KOSMOS on the KPNO Mayall 4-m telescope. Targets were supplied by the Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients (PSST) and Gaia. Observations were made on 2017 June 29 UT. Classifications were performed with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024).
Name | IAU Name | RA (J2000) | Dec (J2000) | z | Type | Phase| Notes
Gaia17bki | AT2017elf | 00:57:06.74 | +08:58:21.18 | 0.031 | Ia | +24d |
PS17dmj | AT2017eze | 20:42:48.64 | -11:36:47.13 | 0.055 | II | |

Notes:
When the redshift is given to 2 decimal places, it is derived from the SN spectrum. Otherwise, the redshift is determined from the host galaxy.
