Abstract:
We report spectroscopic observations of AT2019syx. The transient is young, and its spectrum presents a blue, featureless continuum. We strongly encourage further follow-up observations of this event.

ePESSTO+, the advanced Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient Objects (Smartt et al. 2015 2015A&A...579A..40S), reports the following supernova classifications.

Targets were supplied by the ATLAS survey (Tonry et al. 2018 2018PASP..130f4505T).

Observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT) at La Silla on the night of 2019 October 21, using EFOSC2 and Grism 13 (3985-9315A, 18A resolution). Classifications were done using SNID (Blondin & Tonry 2007 2007ApJ...666.1024B) and Superfit (Howell et al. 2005 2005ApJ...634.1190H).

The classification spectra and additional details can be obtained from http://www.pessto.org (via WISeREP) and the IAU Transient Name Server.

The classified objects are listed in the Related Objects table below.
