ePESSTO, the extended 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.
Targets were supplied by Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients (see Chambers et al. 2016, arXiv:1612.05560, and http://pswww.ifa.hawaii.edu ), the Skymapper Survey (see Scalzo et al. ATel #5480), the ESA Gaia Photometric Science Alerts Team and DPAC (http://gsaweb.ast.cam.ac.uk/alerts), and the ATLAS survey, see Tonry et al. (2011, PASP, 123, 58) and Tonry et al. (ATel #8680).
All observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2017-08-20, using EFOSC2 and Grism 13 (3985-9315A, 18A resolution). Classifications were done with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) and GELATO (Harutyunyan et al., 2008, A&A, 488, 383). Classification spectra and additional details can be obtained from http://www.pessto.org (via WISeREP) and the IAU Transient Name Server. Redshift is given with two digits when derived from SN template matching.

(1) Best match with SN 2006gr at -6 days.
(2) Discovered as part of the Kepler Extra-Galactic Survey (KEGS) K2 Campaign 15. Located 2.97" from C15 galaxy 2MASX J15573838-2257105 (EPICID=204281574).
(3) Best match with SN 2005cf at -7 days.
(4) Most likely a SN Ia post-max. However, good matches are also found with SNe Ic.
(5) Only galaxy light.
(6) Best match with the Type Iax (02cx-like) SN 2010ae at +8 days. Near galaxy IC 438.
