PESSTO, the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient Objects (see Smartt et al., arXiv:1411.0299 http://www.pessto.org ), reports the following supernova classifications. Targets were supplied by PS1 NEO Survey Program (see Smartt et al., ATel #5850) and the IAU Transient Objects Confirmation Page (TOCP). All observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2015-02-16, 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).

 
Name                 |  RA (J2000) |  Dec (J2000) | Disc. Date | Disc. Source | Disc Mag |   z    | Type |  Phase     | Notes
 
PS15at               | 12:15:38.21 | -07:47:28.1  |  20150215  |  Pan-STARRS  |  18.94   | 0.033  |  II  | +40 to +60 | (1) 
PSNJ14095513+1731556 | 14:09:55.12 | +17:31:55.5  |  20150214  |  PSN         |  18.50   | 0.0162 |  Ia  | +1         | (2) 

(1) Good match with SN2004et between +40 days and +60 days
(2) Erratum: PSNJ14095513+1731556 is actually associated to NGC 5490 at z=0.016195. The redshift and discovery magnitude were not right in ATel #7074
