As exoplanet surveys reach ever-higher sensitivities and durations, planets analogous to the solar system giant planets are increasingly within reach. HD 28185 is a Sun-like star known to host a msini=6MJ planet on an Earth-like orbit; more recently, a brown dwarf with a more distant orbit has been claimed. In this work we present a comprehensive reanalysis of the HD 28185 system, based on 22 years of radial velocity observations and precision Hipparcos-Gaia astrometry. We confirm the previous characterisation of HD 28185 b as a temperate giant planet, with its 385.92−0.07+0.06 day orbital period giving it an Earth-like incident flux. In contrast, we substantially revise the parameters of HD 28185 c; with a new mass of m=6.0±0.6MJ we reclassify this companion as a super-jovian planet. HD 28185 c has an orbital period of 24.9−1.1+1.3 years, a semi-major axis of 8.50−0.26+0.29 AU, and a modest eccentricity of 0.15±0.04, resulting in one of the most Saturn-like orbits of any known exoplanet. HD 28185 c lies at the current intersection of detection limits for RVs and direct imaging, and highlights how the discovery of giant planets at ≈10 AU separations is becoming increasingly routine.
