Using the IMACS (Inamori-Magellan Areal Camera and Spectrograph) multislit spectrograph and MIKE (Magellan Inamori Kyocera Echelle) echelle spectrograph on the Magellan telescopes, we obtained spectra of 374 early-type field stars that are at least 28pc from any other OB candidates. We also obtained spectra of an additional 23 field stars in the SMC bar identified from slightly different photometric criteria. Here, we present the observational catalog of stars in the RIOTS4 survey, including spectral classifications and radial velocities. For three multi-slit fields covering 8% of our sample, we carried out monitoring observations over 9-16 epochs to study binarity, finding a spectroscopic, massive binary frequency of at least ~60% in this subsample. Classical Oe/Be stars represent a large fraction of RIOTS4 (42%), occurring at much higher frequency than in the Galaxy, consistent with expectation at low metallicity. RIOTS4 confirmed a steep upper initial mass function in the field, apparently caused by the inability of the most massive stars to form in the smallest clusters. Our survey also yields evidence for in situ field OB star formation, and properties of field emission-line star populations, including sgB[e] stars and classical Oe/Be stars. We also discuss the radial velocity distribution and its relation to SMC kinematics and runaway stars. RIOTS4 presents a first quantitative characterization of field OB stars in an external galaxy, including the contributions of sparse, but normal, star formation; runaway stars; and candidate isolated star formation.</description><source format="bibcode">2016ApJ...817..113L</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/817/113</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource>Conesearch service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/II/236">II/236 : UBVR CCD survey of the Magellanic clouds (Massey, 2002)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/III/195">III/195 : Atlas of Optical Spectral Classification OB Stars (Walborn+ 1990)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/V/13">V/13 : Probable Members of the SMC (Azzopardi+ 1975, 1979)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/III/23">III/23 : MK Classification for OB Stars (Lesh 1968)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/562/A125">J/A+A/562/A125 : OGLE-III SMC massive stars VI LCs (Kourniotis+, 2014)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/771/111">J/ApJ/771/111 : SMC dusty OB stars.
