An aggregate fact table stores information that has been aggregated, or summarized from a detail fact table.  Aggregate fact table ares useful in improving query performance. 

Often an aggregate fact table can be maintained through the use of materialized views, which, under certain databases, can automagically be substituted for the detailed fact table if appropriate in resolving a query.
