We explore an accretion origin for Omega Cen by N-body modeling of theorbital decay and disruption of a Milky-Way dwarf satellite. This work isfocused on studying a particular satellite model that aims to reproduce thepresent orbit of Omega Cen, as recently determined from absolute propermotions. The model satellite is launched from 58 kpc from the Galactic Center,on a radial, low-inclination orbit. We find that a capture scenario can producean Omega Cen-like object with the current low-energy orbit of the cluster. Ourbest model is a nucleated galaxy with a Hernquist density profile that has amass of 8 10**8 Msun, and a half-mass radius of 1.4 kpc.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures, accepted by ApJ
