ATLAS 1.4 GHz Data Release 2 -- I. Observations of the CDF-S and   ELAIS-S1 fields and methods for constructing differential number counts
  This is the first of two papers describing the second data release (DR2) of the Australia Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS) at 1.4 GHz, which comprises deep wide-field observations in total intensity, linear polarization, and circular polarization over the Chandra Deep Field-South and European Large Area Infrared Space Observatory Survey-South 1 regions. DR2 improves upon the first data release by maintaining consistent data reductions across the two regions, including polarization analysis, and including differential number counts in total intensity and linear polarization. Typical DR2 sensitivities across the mosaicked multi-pointing images are 30 uJy/beam at approximately 12"x6" resolution over a combined area of 6.4 square degrees. In this paper we present detailed descriptions of our data reduction and analysis procedures, including corrections for instrumental effects such as positional variations in image sensitivity, bandwidth smearing with a non-circular beam, and polarization leakage, and application of the BLOBCAT source extractor. We present the DR2 images and catalogues of components (discrete regions of radio emission) and sources (groups of physically associated radio components). We describe new analytic methods to account for resolution bias and Eddington bias when constructing differential number counts of radio components.
