The second degree is written as B#, which is the same as C. The fifth degree is written as E#, which is the same as F. A practice in a scale notation is to not include the same letter twice, if it can be avoided.
The A# Aeolian consists of seven notes. It can be described in steps as a formula which is written as whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step from the first note to first note in the next octave.
A# Aeolian is the first mode of A# Minor and therefore both scales include the same notes and in the same order.
