PESSTO, the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient The Objects (see Smartt et al. 2015, A&A, 579, 40 http://www.pessto.org ), reports the following supernova classification.
The target was supplied by Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients (see Huber et al., ATel #7153).
All observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2015 December 05, using EFOSC2 and Grism 13 (3985-9315A, 18A resolution).
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).
