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), the OGLE-IV Transient Search (ATel #4495; Wyrzykowski et al. 2012) and from CRTS (http://crts.caltech.edu/). All observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2014 Sep 28 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) Low S/N. Flat continuum, no identifiable features. (2) Broad Balmer lines on a blue continuum. (3) Broad Balmer lines on a blue continuum. (4) Very young target. Host galaxy redshift GALEXASC J002634.59-324825.5 is z= 0.0461, however SN lines are more consistent with a redshift of 0.02. (5) Low S/N. Blue continuum, no identifiable features. (6) Type II SN, with Halpha in emission (FWHM~3500 km/s). Absolute magnitude at z=0.03 from OGLE data is I = -17.7 mag.
