ERDF (left panel) and BHMF (right panel) of broad-line AGN (type 1, N_H < 10²² cm⁻²) between redshift 1 and 2 (black continuous line). We overplot relevant X-ray selected data from SXDS (red circles) and optically selected data from VVDS (green triangles) and zCOSMOS (blue squares), corrected for incompleteness with the 1/V_max method. A luminosity limit of L_bol > 10⁴⁴ erg s⁻¹ was imposed on the simulation data according to the respective limitations of the above surveys. When the limit is relaxed (red line), the number of sources continuously increases towards low λ and low M_SMBH. We also present the respective distributions of sources with z < 1 (dashed line) and z > 2 (dotted line).
