Abstract

In Galaxy And Mass Assembly Data Release 4 (GAMA DR4), we make available our full spectroscopic redshift sample. This includes 248682 galaxy spectra, and, in combination with earlier surveys, results in 330542 redshifts across five sky regions covering ~250 deg^2^. The redshift density, is the highest available over such a sustained area, has exceptionally high completeness (95 per cent to rKiDS = 19.65 mag), and is well-suited for the study of galaxy mergers, galaxy groups, and the low redshift (z < 0.25) galaxy population. DR4 includes 32 value-added tables or Data Management Units (DMUs) that provide a number of measured and derived data products including GALEX, ESO KiDS, ESO VIKING, WISE, and HerschelSpace Observatory imaging. Within this release, we provide visual morphologies for 15330 galaxies to z < 0.08, photometric redshift estimates for all 18 million objects to r_KiDS_ ~25 mag, and stellar velocity dispersions for 111830 galaxies. We conclude by deriving the total galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF) and its sub-division by morphological class (elliptical, compact-bulge and disc, diffuse-bulge and disc, and disc only). This extends our previous measurement of the total GSMF down to 10^6.75^ M_{sun}_ h_70_^-2^ and we find a total stellar mass density of {rho}* = (2.97 +/- 0.04) * 10^8^ M_{sun} h_70_ Mpc^-3^ or Omega_*_ = (2.17 +/- 0.03) * 10^-3^ h_70_^-1^. We conclude that at z < 0.1, the Universe has converted 4.9 +/- 0.1 per cent of the baryonic mass implied by big bang Nucleosynthesis into stars that are gravitationally bound within the galaxy population.
