We describe the selection of galaxies targeted in eight low redshift clusters ( APMCC0917 , A168 , A4038 , EDCC442 , A3880 , A2399 , A119 and A85 ; 0.029 < z < 0.058 ) as part of the Sydney-AAO Multi-Object integral field Spectrograph Galaxy Survey ( SAMI-GS ) .
We have conducted a redshift survey of these clusters using the AAOmega multi-object spectrograph on the 3.9m Anglo-Australian Telescope .
The redshift survey is used to determine cluster membership and to characterise the dynamical properties of the clusters .
In combination with existing data , the survey resulted in 21,257 reliable redshift measurements and 2899 confirmed cluster member galaxies .
Our redshift catalogue has a high spectroscopic completeness ( \sim 94 \% ) for r _ { petro } \leq 19.4 and clustercentric distances R < 2 R _ { 200 } .
We use the confirmed cluster member positions and redshifts to determine cluster velocity dispersion , R _ { 200 } , virial and caustic masses , as well as cluster structure .
The clusters have virial masses 14.25 \leq { log } ( { M } _ { 200 } / M _ { \sun } ) \leq 15.19 .
The cluster sample exhibits a range of dynamical states , from relatively relaxed-appearing systems , to clusters with strong indications of merger-related substructure .
Aperture- and PSF-matched photometry are derived from SDSS and VST/ATLAS imaging and used to estimate stellar masses .
These estimates , in combination with the redshifts , are used to define the input target catalogue for the cluster portion of the SAMI-GS .
The primary SAMI-GS cluster targets have R < R _ { 200 } , velocities |v _ { pec } | < 3.5 \sigma _ { 200 } and stellar masses 9.5 \leq { log ( M } ^ { * } _ { approx } / M _ { \sun } ) \leq 12 .
Finally , we give an update on the SAMI-GS progress for the cluster regions .
