With advancement of infrared space telescopes during the past decade, infrared wavelength regime has been a focal point to study various properties of galaxies with respect to evolution of galaxies. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) have emerged as one of the most important features since these features dominate the mid-infrared spectra of galaxies. These PAH features provide a great handle to calibrate star formation rates and diagnose ionized states of grains. However, the PAH 3.3 μm feature has not been studied as much as other PAH features since it is weaker than others and resides outside of Spitzer capability, although it will be the only PAH feature accessible by JWST for high-z galaxies. AKARI mJy Unbiased Survey of Extragalactic Sources in 5MUSES (AMUSES) intends to take advantage of AKARI capability of spectroscopy in the 2 ~ 5 μm to provide an unbiased library of 44 sample galaxies selected from a parent sample of 5MUSES, one of Spitzer legacy projects. For these 3.6 μm flux limited sample galaxies whose redshifts range between 0 < z < 1, AMUSES will calibrate PAH 3.3 μm as a star formation rate (SFR) indicator while measuring ratios between PAH features. We present preliminary results of AMUSES.
