ePESSTO+, the extended 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), the Zwicky Transient Facility (Kulkarni 2018 2018ATel11266....1K) - processed through the Lasair broker (Smith, Williams, Young et al. 2019 2019RNAAS...3a..26S) and the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae ASAS-SN (Shappee et al. 2014 2014ApJ...788...48S).

All observations reported here were performed between 2019 April 30 to May 3rd (UT), on the ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT) at La Silla using EFOSC2 and Grism 11 and 13 (3380-7520, 3985-9315A, 18A resolution). Classifications were done with SNID (Blondin & Tonry 2007 2007ApJ...666.1024B), GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008 2008A&A...488..383H) and Superfit (Howell et al. 2005 2005ApJ...634.1190H).

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

 

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