Resolved Kinematics of Runaway and Field OB Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
We use Gaia Data Release 2 proper motions of field OB stars from the Runaways and Isolated O-Type Star Spectroscopic Survey of 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}α ,{v}δ ) =(62+/- 7,-18+/- 5) {km} {{{s}}}-1 and
