PESSTO, the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient Objects (see
Smartt et al. 2015, A&A, 579, 40 http://www.pessto.org ),
reports the following supernova classifications. Targets were supplied
by Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients (see Huber et al., ATel #7153),
and OGLE-IV Real-time Transient Search (Wyrzykowski et al., 2014 arxiv:1409.1095; http://ogle.astrouw.edu.pl/ ). All observations were performed on the ESO New
Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2016 January 29th, 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 and additional details can be obtained from http://www.pessto.org (via WISeREP) and the Transient Name Server.
