  The low-energy modes of a spin-imbalanced superfluid Fermi gas in the
Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) side are studied. The gas is assumed to be
sufficiently dilute so that the pairing of atoms can be considered effective
only in s-wave between fermions of different internal state. The order
parameter at equilibrium is determined by the mean-field approximation, while
the properties of the collective modes are calculated within a Gaussian
approximation for the fluctuations of the order parameter. In particular we
investigate the effects of asymmetry between the populations of the two
different components and of temperature on the frequency and damping of
collective modes. It is found that the temperature does not much affect the
frequency and the damping of the modes, whereas an increase of the imbalance
shifts the frequency toward lower values and enhances the damping sensitively.
Besides the Bogoliubov-Anderson phonons, we observe modes at zero frequency for
finite values of the wave-number. These modes indicate that an instability
develops driving the system toward two separate phases, normal and superfluid.
