abstract
We discuss further observational support of an idea formulated a decade ago by Abramowicz, Klu{\'z}niak, McClintock and Remillard. They demonstrated that the 3:2 pairs of frequencies of the twin-peak black hole (BH) high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) scale inversely with the BH masses and that the scaling covers the entire range from stellar to supermassive BHs. For this reason, they believed that the QPOs may be used for accurate measurements of masses and spins of BHs.

Detection and Characterization of Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in Seyfert Galaxy NGC 4151
A repeating X-ray signal with a period of about 28 minutes is claimed in two independent observations of NGC 4151, with uncorrected combined significance 5.2 sigma that falls to 3.2 sigma under the paper's strictest trial correction.
