PESSTO, the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient Objects (see
Valenti et al., ATel #4037; http://www.pessto.org ), reports the
following supernova classifications. Targets were supplied by Giancarlo
Cortini (Monte Maggiore Observatory-Predappio-ITALY), and the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey
(http://crts.caltech.edu/). All observations were performed on the ESO
New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2013 Mar 03, 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 can be obtained from http://www.pessto.org (via WISeREP).
