We present the type-1 active galactic nuclei (AGN) sample extracted from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey's first observations of 21000 spectra in 1.75 deg 2. This sample; which is purely magnitude-limited and free of morphological or color-selection biases; contains 130 broad-line AGN (BLAGN) spectra with redshift up to 5. Our data are divided into a wide (IAB &le 22.5) and a deep (IAB &le 24) subsample containing 56 and 74 objects; respectively. Because of its depth and selection criteria; this sample is uniquely suited for studying the population of faint type-1 AGN. Our measured surface density (∼472 ± 48 BLAGN per square degree with I AB &le 24) is significantly higher than that of any other optically selected sample of BLAGN with spectroscopic confirmation. By applying a morphological and color analysis to our AGN sample; we find that (1) ∼23% of the AGN brighter than IAB = 22.5 are classified as extended; and this percentage increases to ∼42% for those with z AB = 22.5) in conjuction with a preselection of point-like sources; can miss up to ∼35% of the AGN population. Finally; we present a composite spectrum of our sample of objects. While the continuum shape is very similar to that of the SDSS composite at short wavelengths; it is much redder than that of the SDSS composite at λ ≥ 3000 Å. We interpret this as due to significant contamination from emission of the host galaxies; as expected from the faint absolute magnitudes sampled by our survey. © ESO 2006;
