SYSAUX is the name of the compulsory tablespace, introduced in Oracle 10g, to support optional database components (called occupants) like AWR, Statspack, Oracle Streams, etc.

You can query v$sysaux_occupants, to get the list of SYSAUX occupants:

SQL> SELECT occupant_name, schema_name, space_usage_kbytes FROM v$sysaux_occupants;
