Calculations of the spectrum of eigen oscillations of an inhomogeneous ultracold plasma are presented both in the absence and in the presence of charge imbalance. The collective modes of these plasma oscillations are recorded in experiments as absorption resonances of a radio frequency electric field. It is shown that in the presence of friction of the electronic component, a discrete spectrum of plasma eigen oscillations is formed. The dependence of the frequency of these resonances on the plasma expansion time in the presence of a charge imbalance is obtained. There is good agreement with the experiments of different authors.
