Simulations for the critical collapse of the scalar field — •Hannes Rüter and Bernd Brügmann — Theoretical Physics Institute, University of Jena, 07743 Jena, Germany

We present simulations of a massless salar field obtained from our pseudo-spectral evolution code, BAMPS. In particular we are looking for critical phenomena of the scalar fields gravitational collapse. To study the features in non-spherically symmetric collapses, we look into evolutions of perturbations of spherically symmetric initial data.
