We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with154 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) that were detected by satellite-based gamma-rayexperiments in 2009-2010, during the sixth LIGO science run and the second andthird Virgo science runs. We perform two distinct searches: a modeled searchfor coalescences of either two neutron stars or a neutron star and black hole;and a search for generic, unmodeled gravitational-wave bursts. We find noevidence for gravitational-wave counterparts, either with any individual GRB inthis sample or with the population as a whole. For all GRBs we place lowerbounds on the distance to the progenitor, under the optimistic assumption of agravitational-wave emission energy of 10^-2 M c^2 at 150 Hz, with a medianlimit of 17 Mpc. For short hard GRBs we place exclusion distances on binaryneutron star and neutron star-black hole progenitors, using astrophysicallymotivated priors on the source parameters, with median values of 16 Mpc and 28Mpc respectively. These distance limits, while significantly larger than for asearch that is not aided by GRB satellite observations, are not large enough toexpect a coincidence with a GRB. However, projecting these exclusions to thesensitivities of Advanced LIGO and Virgo, which should begin operation in 2015,we find that the detection of gravitational waves associated with GRBs willbecome quite possible.
