Description
Starforming galaxies with compact morphology and high optical luminosity
(LBCGs) are very common at redshitfs z = 0.4 - 1.2. Those galaxies are
believed to have evolved more than other galaxy class during the last ~
8 Gyr, and are a mayor contributor to the global star formation rate
density of the universe at z ~ 1. A robust way to gauge their evolution
is throught quantities that do not change much when the star formation
activity ceases. In this poster we present the stellar mass measurements
for a sample of 30 LBCGs from the GOYA photometric survey. The stellar
masses are obtained by fitting the photometry in UBVIJK filters to a two
component galaxy population model obtained with GISSELXXI.
