AUX files exist as 2 different types. Please find information about each of them below.

LaTeX creates output files like PDFs. It also makes log and auxiliary files ending in .log and .aux. The log file logs LaTeX’s activity. The auxiliary file stores extra data. You can delete these after compiling.
LaTeX is used for technical writing. The .aux file holds data between compiling passes. Programs store extra raster data in .aux files in the same folder. The file names match. For example, rasterdata.tif has an rasterdata.aux.
GIS software uses .aux files for spatial analysis. The file contains projection data, system details, statistics. Programs can generate .aux files automatically. Users don’t usually access them directly.
MiKTeX software handles .aux files often. But other TeX editors do too like LaTeX Editor, LyxMac, TeXworks and proTeXt. The file format helps these programs organize documents. Most .aux users are in China on Windows 10 using Chrome.

Auxiliary AUX files store data that raster image files in formats like JPG and TIFF cannot contain. These files hold additional geospatial information like color maps, statistics, coordinate systems, transformations, and projections. AUX files use the same name and location as the raster files they supplement. Geospatial software programs like ESRI ArcGIS and ERDAS IMAGINE use AUX files. Visit ESRI’s website to learn more about the AUX file format. Auxiliary XML files also store supplementary raster data. Raster files need these external AUX files to contain relevant geospatial data the image formats don’t allow for. GIS mapping and image processing software reads the AUX files along with the rasters to access the auxiliary information.
