The Aeolian dominant scale , Aeolian major, and melodic major] is the fifth mode of the melodic minor scale. It is named such because its sound derives from having a dominant seventh chord on the tonic in the context of what is otherwise the Aeolian mode.
It corresponds to Raga Charukeshi in Indian Classical music.
This scale can also be obtained by raising the third degree of the natural minor scale or lowering the sixth degree of the mixolydian scale.
The name melodic major also refers to the combined scale that proceeds as natural major ascending and as Aeolian dominant descending.
