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 All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae ASAS-SN (see Shappee et al. 2014, ApJ, 788, 48 and http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~assassin/index.shtml ),
from CRTS (Drake et al. 2009, 696, 870 ; http://crts.caltech.edu/ ) and from
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 2016 January 30th, 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.
