We report the following classifications of optical transients in K2 galaxies from spectroscopic observations with the LRIS spectrograph on the Keck I telescope. Targets were supplied by PSST. All observations were obtained on 2018 Jan 16 UT. Classifications were performed with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024).

 
Name        | IAU Name  | RA (J2000)  | Dec (J2000)  | z     | Type | Phase | Notes
 
PS18ep      | AT2018ha  | 09:11:22.99 | +23:51:28.45 | 0.061 |  Ia  |  +0 d | (1) 
PS18eo      | AT2018hb  | 09:06:15.26 | +17:20:21.64 | 0.114 |  Ib  |  +8 d | 
PS18eq      | AT2018hc  | 09:15:38.72 | +17:18:22.25 | 0.102 |  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. (1) Matches to SN 1991bg-like SNe Ia near peak. We measure an Si II 6355 velocity of -9,800 km/s.
