We extend to finite temperature the study of collective excitations of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a dilute gas of ⁸⁷Rb. Measurements of two modes with different angular momenta show unexpected temperature-dependent frequency shifts, with very different behavior for the two symmetries; in addition there is a sharp feature in the temperature dependence of one mode. The damping of these excitations exhibits dramatic temperature dependence, with condensate modes at temperatures near the transition damping even faster than analogous noncondensate oscillations.
