Scientific paper

There is an increasing need for very wide-field imaging and sky monitoring with high sensitivity and moderate angular resolution/localization accuracy in future X-ray astronomy projects. The wide-field lobster-eye X-ray telescopes represent a very promising alternative. We review the design and basic properties of such telescopes and report on results of ongoing project of design, development and tests of lobster-eye X-ray telescopes prototypes. The related science involves all highly variable, flaring and transient X-ray sources both of galactic and extragalactic origin such as X-ray afterglows of gamma ray bursts, X-ray transients and novae, supernovae, AGNs, blazars, etc.
