We report optical spectroscopic observation of supernova candidates ASASSN-18gs/2018apn, ASASSN-18gu/2018aqa and ASASSN-18gz/2018aqe (ATel #11521) using OSMOS (range 398-686 nm) mounted on the MDM 2.4m telescope at KPNO. All three targets were discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN, Shappee et al. 2014). We used SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) to identify the type, phase, and redshift of the SN spectra.

Survey Name | IAU Name | Obsv. Date | Spec. Type | Phase | Redshift | Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASASSN-18gs | SN 2018apn | 2018-04-10.41 | Ia | 3-7 days post max.| 0.039 | (1)
ASASSN-18gu | SN 2018aqa | 2018-04-10.25 | Ia | Week after max. | 0.0288 (NED) | (2,3)
ASASSN-18gz | SN 2018aqe | 2018-04-10.34 | Ia | Near max. | 0.0446 (NED) | (3)

(1) The redshift is estimated from SNID SN template cross-correlation.
(2) The classification is consistent with that reported in ATel #11524.
(3) The SNID estimated redshift is consistent with that of the host galaxy.
