There is strong, albeit indirect, evidence for a sub-Alfvenic and transonic interaction between Triton and the Neptunian magnetosphere. A new inspection of magnetic field data around Triton encounter shows no evidence for the interaction. It is shown that this is due to the geometry of Triton's Alfvenic wings, which were probably too far from the spacecraft during the encounter. The situation is complicated by finite ion gyroradius effects, which tend to smear out the simple Alfven wings such as encountered at Io.
