I'm familiar with a body of work that relies on studies of 'microquasars' and other extreme objects in our galaxy as a proxy for more distant SMBHs.

While microquasars have strong emissions across is a broad range of wavelengths, this is the first time this type of object has been detected in gamma rays.
-
Apparent superluminal motion is observed in many radio galaxies, blazars, quasars and recently also in microquasars.

"And let's not forget that a completely new type of astrophysical object could also produce the detected electron excess; after all, pulsars were discovered only in 1967, and until 1992 we were blissfully unaware of microquasars," he wrote.

"Something that will take millions of years to take place in AGN will take place over a matter of months in microquasars," says Stéphane Corbel of the Denis Diderot University, Paris, and CEA Saclay, France, and a member of the Fermi team.

Potential sources of galactic neutrinos can be SN remnants, pulsars, microquasars, and extragalactic ones are gamma-ray bursts and active galactic nuclei.

Positrons might also originate in objects such as pulsars and microquasars or through dark matter annihilation, which would be 'primary sources'.

But I am also in agreement with researcher Juan Madrid in that \% u201Cthe question is, does this happen to every single jet or active nucleus, or are we seeing some odd behavior from M87? \% u201D Also, some quasars, microquasars, active galactic nuclei, some supernovae and newly born stars all seem to exhibit some form of jet phenomenon, so research on the astrophysical nature of jets may answer questions among many diverse systems in our universe.
