(ATNF,CSIRO) report:
We observed the field of GRB 170714A (D'Ai et al., GCN 21340) with
XMM-Newton between 370,993 and 506,293 seconds post-trigger under our XMM
program on ultralong GRBs (PI: Piro).
The X-ray afterglow is clearly visible during the whole observation, at
the position:
RA: 2h17m24.02s
DEC: +1d59'28.51"
with an error of 1.3" (statistic + systematic, 90% confidence),
consistent with the position of the optical counterpart (de Ugarte Postigo
et al. GCN 21346) and of XRT (Evans et al. GCN 21341).
The observed mean X-ray flux(0.3-10 keV) is 3.7e-14 erg/s/cm2
We thank the ESA and XMM SOC staff for performing this TOO trigger.
