Plot of temperature changing with orbit

Hey, I am stuck with this problem I having with my code.
So I have gotten a bunch of values for temperature of a planet that changes when a red dwarf that is on an elliptical orbit gets closer to the planet. Now I want to plot how the temperature of the planet changes during the Red Dwarf's orbit. The idea is to have the temperature of the planet on the y-axis and the Period of the Red Dwarf on the x-axis.
The problem I am having is when plot it, it is plotting all the values for the temperature of the planet for ever point of the Red Dwarf's period I am plotting which is every 5th day of its period which is 1896 and this isn't what I want, I want to show that for the start of the Red Dwarf's orbit the planet's temperature doesn't change until it gets close to the planet so i should get this spike of temperature and then when the Red Dwarf moves further away it falls back down to the normal temperature of the planet.
Below I have attached the ouput image and the code I have so far. Any help with this would be great!!
