Observations of the systems in late relaxation state after a burst or in a quiescent state were carried out in 2020 and 2021 with the 6-m BTA telescope of SAO RAS. Their analysis took into account the requirement for an optimum description of the observed absorption profiles of the Balmer series lines with the model spectra of white dwarfs with radiative and convective transfer. As a result, the atmospheric parameters of the primaries were determined for all the systems, and when they were subsequently compared with models of the internal structure of white dwarf and main-sequence stars, sets of fundamental parameters of the objects were also determined.

A simultaneous condition to be fulfilled for increasing accuracy is to carry out observations after the objects relax to a quiescent state, since the emission lines of the accretion disk significantly narrow the region of the analyzed spectrum.

In 2019 Tikhonov, using HST images and the Tip of Red Giant Branch (TRGB) method, derived its distance <span>(D=1.61pm 0.1)</span> Mpc and determined the stellar metallicity of Cas 1, <span>(z=0.0004)</span> (or <span>(Z_{textrm{stars}}=Z_{odot}/50)</span>). Such an eXtremely Metal-Poor (XMP) dwarf would be a nearby analogue of I Zw 18 and a valuable object for the follow-up detailed studies. Meanwhile, the distance to Cas 1 remains debatable. Its TRGB distance of <span>(4.5pm 0.2)</span> Mpc, based on the deeper HST images, was presented in the Extragalactic Distance Database (EDD). It places Cas 1 in the field between groups of IC 342 (<span>(D=3.3)</span> Mpc) and Maffei 1/Maffei 2 (<span>(D=5.7)</span> Mpc). To test the suggested XMP nature of Cas 1, we conduct the 6-m telescope (BTA, SAO RAS) spectroscopy to estimate O/H in its two H II regions. We also use these spectra to derive, via the observed Balmer decrements, the upper limit of the MW extinction in Cas 1. The derived values of <span>(12+log(textrm{O/H}))</span> are <span>(7.83pm 0.1)</span> and <span>(7.58pm 0.1)</span> dex.
