After discovering microquasars – active stellar systems with relativistic outflows (Mirabel et al. 1992) – many papers bringing the observational arguments on similar nature of accreting systems with different BH masses (from stellar to galactic nuclei) have appeared. It became clear that a level of activity in such systems could depend on few parameters: BH mass and angular momentum; accretion rate and magnetization parameter of accretion disk (AD); relative orientation of BH and AD angular momentum. The bolometric luminosity and characteristic variation time in such systems is proportional to BH masses, which span an interval in 5–8 decades.
