The region surrounding the Galactic Center has been surveyed with a variety of pointings. Long tracks have been used to cover approximately |b| < 1°, |l| < 2°; a vertical strip at approximately |b| < 20°, |l| < 1.5° has been covered with a mosaic pointing scheme that achieves 1 hour integration time per pointing spread over a range of hour angles to obtain good uv coverage. The overview paper for the long-tracks portion of the survey has been accepted for publicationpublished, and the corresponding data products are available from the SARAO repository.
The MeerKAT Galaxy Cluster Legacy Survey
Approximately 30 radio-selected and 70 X-ray-selected galaxy clusters have been observed with long tracks. The survey overview and highlights paper has been published, along with the first data release on the SARAO repository.
The data release includes unprocessed visibilities (please read the paper for caveats), basic imaging products, enhanced imaging products and catalogues.

Both the SMC and LMC have been surveyed with a mosaic pointing scheme that achieves 1 hour integration time per pointing spread over a range of hour angles to obtain good uv coverage. The SMC survey paper and associated data release have been published. Science exploitation has begun for the LMC survey, and those potentially interested to participate should contact SARAO.

A thin strip of the Southern Galactic Plane (4th quadrant, and also portions of the 3rd and 1st: 248° < l < 61°, |b| < 1.5°) has been surveyed with a mosaic pointing scheme that achieves 1 hour integration time per pointing spread over a range of hour angles to obtain good uv coverage. Science exploitation is underway, and those potentially interested to participate should contact Sharmila GoedhartThe initial survey paper and associated data release have been published.
Science Verification
SARAO has surveyed a 30 deg2 region in the GAMA23 field in order to demonstrate MeerKAT's capabilities for relatively shallow and large area neutral hydrogen surveys, while demonstrating the science utility of the SDP near real-time spectral imager. This uses the L-band receiver, 32k mode of the correlator, and 1 hour per pointing.
