Popis:	We study inherently chiral self-propelled particles, self-rotating at a fixed frequency, in two dimensions, subjected to nematic alignment interactions and rotational noise. By means of both, homogeneous and spatially resolved mean field kinetic theory, we identify various different flocking states. We confirm the presence of the predicted phases using agent-based simulations, in particular, an homogeneous nematic phase at low frequencies, followed by a microflock pattern phase at larger frequencies, characterized by finite-size nematic clusters. We emphasize that special care has to be taken within the simulations in order to avoid artifacts, and present a non-standard simulation technique in order to avoid them. Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures
