BFOSC and YFOSC are the most frequently used instruments in the Xinglong 2.16 m telescope and Lijiang 2.4 m telescope,respectively.We developed a software package named“BYSpec”(BFOSC and YFOSC Spectra Reduction Package)dedicated to automatically reducing the long-slit and echelle spectra obtained by these two instruments.The package supports bias andflat-fielding correction,order location,background subtraction,automatic wavelength calibration,and absoluteflux calibration.The optimal extraction method maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio and removes most of the cosmic rays imprinted in the spectra.A comparison with the 1D spectra reduced with IRAF verifies the reliability of the results.This open-source software is publicly available to the community.
