We use GAIA DR2 proper motions of the RIOTS4 field OB stars in the Small
Magellanic Cloud (SMC) to study the kinematics of runaway stars. The data
reveal that the SMC Wing has a systemic peculiar motion relative to the SMC Bar
of (v_RA, v_Dec) = (62 +/-7, -18+/-5) km/s and relative radial velocity +4.5
+/- 5.0 km/s. This unambiguously demonstrates that these two regions are
kinematically distinct: the Wing is moving away from the Bar, and towards the
Large Magellanic Cloud with a 3-D velocity of 64 +/- 10 km/s. This is
consistent with models for a recent, direct collision between the Clouds. We
present transverse velocity distributions for our field OB stars, confirming
that unbound runaways comprise on the order of half our sample, possibly more.
Using eclipsing binaries and double-lined spectroscopic binaries as tracers of
dynamically ejected runaways, and high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) as tracers
of runaways accelerated by supernova kicks, we find significant contributions
from both populations. The data suggest that HMXBs have lower velocity
dispersion relative to dynamically ejected binaries, consistent with the former
corresponding to less energetic supernova kicks that failed to unbind the
components. Evidence suggests that our fast runaways are dominated by
dynamical, rather than supernova, ejections.Comment: Accepted to ApJ Letters. 10 pages, 4 figure
