The topic names are set by the nodes that host those topics. Gazebo defines its own topic names, and you must subscribe to them. If you look in the documentation for any node, it lists the services and topics that it hosts and how to use them.

Hi, the topic you need to subscribe to is listed here. In this case, you probably want to do something like below:

xyz_subscriber_ = node_handle_.subscribe("/gazebo/model_states", 10, ModelStatecallback);

hope this helps.
