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 ). All observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope
at La Silla on 2019 April 26, using EFOSC2 and Grism 13 (3985-9315A, 18A resolution).
Classifications were done with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024), GELATO (Harutyunyan et al.,
2008, A&A, 488, 383) and superfit (Howell et al., 2005, ApJ, 634, 1190). Classification spectra and additional details can be obtained
from http://www.pessto.org (via WISeREP) and the IAU Transient Name Server.
Survey Name | IAU Name | RA (J2000) | Dec (J2000) | Disc. Date | Source | Disc Mag | z | Type | Phase | Notes
PS19qu | SN2019edf | 16 01 50 | +22 00 17.4 | 20190425 | PS | 20.9 | 0.184 | Ia | -3 to +3 | (1,2)
(1) Redshift from host galaxy lines
(2) Target chosen due to overlap with localisation map of S190425z
