The Aeolian mode is the sixth mode of the major scale, that is, it is formed by starting on the sixth degree of the major scale. For example, if the Aeolian mode is used in its all-white-note pitch based on A, this would be an A-minor triad, which would be the submediant in the relative major key of C major.
The half diminished scale is a seven-note musical scale. It is more commonly known as the Locrian ♯ 2 scale [1] or the Aeolian ♭ 5 scale, names that avoid confusion with the diminished scale and the half-diminished seventh chord (minor seventh, diminished fifth). It is the sixth mode of the ascending melodic minor scale.

A heptatonic scale is a musical scale that has seven pitches, or tones, per octave. Examples include: the diatonic scale; including the major scale and its modes (notably the natural minor scale, or Aeolian mode) the melodic minor scale, like the Aeolian mode but with raised 6th and 7th ascending
Ignoring the root, the scales used for each of these four chords would be B Aeolian (natural minor), B Dorian, C♯ Mixolydian, and E Aeolian, respectively. However, from the perspective of pitch axis theory, we consider all scales to have the B root - so we would say that the progression is B Aeolian, B Dorian, B Lydian, and B Phrygian.
The minor pentatonic scale uses the same notes as the major pentatonic scale, but begins on the sixth scale degree of the corresponding major scale. In this nomenclature, minor is employed in the sense of relative key, as the diatonic A minor scale is the relative minor of the diatonic C major scale.
The Aeolian dominant scale (Aeolian ♯ 3 scale), Mixolydian ♭ 6 scale, descending melodic major scale, or Hindu scale [1] [2] is the fifth mode of the ascending melodic minor scale. It is named Aeolian dominant because its sound derives from having a dominant seventh chord on the tonic in the context of what is otherwise the Aeolian mode .
