Four distinct dynamical phases. Strong alignment interaction yield solid-like (a) and liquid-like (b) flocking states. For weak polar coupling between cells the system is either in a stationary solid (c) or stationary liquid (d) phase. The heat map represents the cosine of the angle of the instantaneous velocity field with respect the horizontal axis: a uniform color indicates coherent migration in a given direction.
