PESSTO, the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient The Objects (see Valenti et al., ATel #4037; http://www.pessto.org ), reports the following supernova classification.
The target was supplied by the La Silla-Quest survey (see Hadjiyska et al., ATel #3812).
The observation was performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2012 December 06,
using EFOSC2 and Grism 13 (3985-9315A, 18A resolution).
The classification was done with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) and GELATO (Harutyunyan et al., 2008,
A&A, 488, 383). Classification spectrum can be obtained from http://www.pessto.org (via WISeREP).
