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 the La Silla Quest Survey (Baltay et al. 2013, PASP, 125, 683) and the OGLE-IV Transient Search (ATel #4495; Wyrzykowski et al. 2012). All observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2014 Sep 22 UT, 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).

Notes: (1) Best match with sn2004aw at 4 days after explosion. (2) Very young SN type II, few days after explosion. Located 22" west and 38" south of the center of the galaxy ESO244-31. Spectra displays blue continuum with weak H alpha consistent with the host redshift (3) Slow raise over the last 40 days. The object's peak estimated absolute magnitude is -19.4 in I band.
