Steele (LJMU) on\nbehalf of a larger collaboration.\n\nWe report the following Liverpool Telescope follow-up observations of EM\ncandidates. Observations were made with the SPRAT spectrograph, and\nsupernova classifications were obtained using SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007,\nApJ, 666, 1024).\n\niPTF17bam was observed on 2017-02-22 at 23:04UT. The transient is centrally\nlocated within its host galaxy and the spectrum is indicative of an AGN.\n\niPTF17bds was observed on 2017-02-24 at 04:36UT. We classify this transient\nas a type Ia SN at +8 days with z=0.203.\n\nPS17bfg was observed on 2017-02-24 at 03:46UT. We classify this transient\nas a type Ia SN at +15 days with z=0.140. The galaxy 2MASX\nJ11453974+3323354 at a separation of 0.064 arcmin has catalogue z=0.141258.\n\nPTSS17gpm was observed on 2017-02-24 at 05:02UT. We classify this transient\nas a type Ia SN at +1 days with z=0.080.\n\niPTF17beb was observed on 2017-02-24 at 05:53UT. We classify this transient\nas a type II SN at +17 days with z=0.056.\n\n\nWe also observed the following targets. In these targets the spectrum seems\nto be dominated by the host galaxy and we see no evidence of a transient\nabove the host galaxy emission in the acquisition images. In the majority\nof cases the transient coordinates are very close to the centre of the host\ngalaxy.\n\niPTF17bah was observed on 2017-02-23 at 00:33UT.\niPTF17baz was observed on 2017-02-24 at 01:07UT.\nPS17bfc was observed on 2017-02-24 at 02:04UT.\niPTF17bdl was observed on 2017-02-24 at 02:44UT.\niPTF17bdd was observed on 2017-02-24 at 03:41UT.\niPTF17bec was observed on 2017-02-24 at 05:33UT.",
