Query: Improved methods for detecting gravitational waves associated with short
  gamma-ray bursts   In the era of second generation ground-based gravitational wave detectors,
short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) will be among the most promising astrophysical
events for joint electromagnetic and gravitational wave observation. A targeted
search for gravitational wave compact binary merger signals in coincidence with
short GRBs was developed and used to analyze data from the first generation
LIGO and Virgo instruments. In this paper, we present improvements to this
search that enhance our ability to detect gravitational wave counterparts to
short GRBs. Specifically, we introduce an improved method for estimating the
gravitational wave background to obtain the event significance required to make
detections; implement a method of tiling extended sky regions, as required when
searching for signals associated to poorly localized GRBs from Fermi Gamma-ray
Burst Monitor or the InterPlanetary Network; and incorporate astrophysical
knowledge about the beaming of GRB emission to restrict the search parameter
space. We describe the implementation of these enhancements and demonstrate how
they improve the ability to observe binary merger gravitational wave signals
associated with short GRBs.
