Notes on White Dwarfs and Neutron Stars.
... If a star should approach the Chandrasekhar mass limit, MCh = 1.46 M⊙ , its radius will shrink and the density will increase as R−3 . At some point, new physics will intervene. A neutron in free space will live for only about 15 minutes before undergoing decay to a proton, electron and anti-neutrino ...

The velocity starts at 108 cm s-1 (definition of the presupernova link) and will build up to at least c/10 = 30,000 km s-1 before we are through. Since the iron core only has a radius of 5,000 to 10,000 km, the next second is go ...
