Self-propelled particle (SPP) models are widely used for exploring emergence of collective motion in nature. Despite the significant advances over the past decades in understanding self-organized active matter, many questions remain open about the general phase space of Vicsek-like alignment models and the regions of validity of corresponding analytical theories. We investigate a set of different continuous-time SPP-models with alignment interactions. We find that all these models share qualitatively the same phase diagram. Focusing on one of them, we identify three homogeneous states with long-range orientational order, that can be distinguished using statistical approaches. We tested the predictions of the Toner-Tu theory on these states and show that they do not hold for all three of them. Furthermore, we also phenomenologically explore the role of positional repulsion on the emergent spatial structure. Our study provides a broad, over-arching perspective on continuous-time alignment-based SPP model.
