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.
