Abstract The structure of the vortex in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate is studied by the method of Dirac δ function. The vortex can be characterized by the Brouwer degree and Hopf index, i.e., β1η1, β2η2. The circulation of the vortex can be a fraction, which is different from the usual result for a one-component condensate. The kinetic helicity of vortices is calculated.
